Editing a existing gallery items creates a new entry

[Elliottd]

Hi,

I am having issues when editing an entry in a gallery. When I select the item in the gallery to edit it displays the data. When I change and submit the data it creates a new entry in my Sharepoint list instead of editing the one I selected from the gallery.

My submit button code is 

Patch('LATENT DEFECT TRACKER',
Defaults('LATENT DEFECT TRACKER'),
'Pending Latent Defect'.Updates,'Pending Latent Defect_1'.Updates);
Navigate(Success)

I have two forms I want the data to be updated with Pending Latent Defect and Pending Latent Defect_1

The code for the edit button in my gallery.

EditForm('Pending Latent Defect_1');
Navigate(
Screen2,
ScreenTransition.Cover,
{SelectedItem: Gallery3.Selected}
)

This seems to select the form I want to edit.

The properties for my gallery3 items = 'LATENT DEFECT TRACKER'

For some reason, it keeps on creating a new entry when I submit the form and not amending the original one.

Thanks in advanced

Hi @Elliottd ,

You need to tell Patch which record to update (I have assumed you are using SharePoint here)

Patch(
   'LATENT DEFECT TRACKER',
   {ID: Gallery3.Selected.ID},
   'Pending Latent Defect'.Updates,
   'Pending Latent Defect_1'.Updates
);
Navigate(Success)

Fantastic adding the gallery3.selected.id has worked and it now modifies the original form and does not submit a new item in my SharePoint list. Thanks for your help.
