Cannot update Dynamics data source

[ebDev]

Hello All,

I have been trying top update records within a Dynamics data source. However, when I attempt to update a business required field, nothing happens. optional fields (such as psa_name below) are updated without any issues.

UpdateIf(Hours, HoursId = timeSheetGalllery.Selected.HoursId, {psa_project: ProjectSelectDropdown_1.Selected,
psa_item: projectItemDropdown_1.Selected,
psa_name: editDescription.Text,
psa_internalnote: editInternalNote.Text,
psa_case: caseSelectDropdown_1.Selected

})
Above is my current update method. I have tried to do the same thing using the Patch function as well and the result is the same as my current UpdatIf function.

Additional Information
These are the data types within the UpdatIf function
psa_project :record type (business required)
psa_item: record type (business required)
psa_name: text (optional)
psa_InternalNote: text (optional)
psa_case:record type (business required)

Thank you in advance for any help. 🙂

Hi @ebDev ,

Could you please share a bit more about the Record type column in your D365 Entity?

Do you mean that the "Record" type column in your SP list could not be updated using Patch function or UpdateIf function?

Further, could you please share a screenshot about your app's configuration?

I could not find the Record data type within D365 Entity, do you mean the LookUp type column? I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned. Please take a try with the following workaround:

The DataCardValue8 is a ComboBox control within my app, set the Items property to following:

Choices(Tasks.crba2_Referenced_Task_Task)   /* <-- Referenced_Task is the LookUp column in my Tasks Entity */

Set the OnSelect property of the "Update" button to following:

Patch(
      Tasks,
      BrowseGallery1.Selected, 
      {
         Referenced_Task: DataCardValue8.Selected
      }
)

On your side, I assume that the psa_project, psa_item and psa_case column are both LookUp type columns in your Hours Entity. Please make sure the Items property of the ProjectSelectDropdown_1 to following:

Choices(Hours.prefix_psa_project_Hour)

Please make sure the Items property of the projectItemDropdown_1 to following:

Choices(Hours.prefix_psa_item_Hour)

Please make sure the Items property of the caseSelectDropdown_1 to following:

Choices(Hours.prefix_psa_case_Hour) 

Note: The prefix_psa_project_Hour, prefix_psa_item_Hour, ... represents the Display Name of LookUp column within your app.

Best regards,
