Patch SharePoint List then get last ID doesn't works correct

[max81]

Hi,

I'm using Patch to update a SharePoint List.

After saving the list, I want to call a flow with the just created List ID as parameter.

Unfortunately I don't get the new created ID: I get the ID the second last ID.

So my code is:

Patch(
    TestList,
    Defaults(TestList),
    Form1.Updates
);

Set(varID,Last(TestList).ID);

I also already tried to set a "Refresh(TestList)" in between, but it didn't solved the problem.
If I use the same function in really small Apps, it works fine. So maybe it depends on the size of the SharePoint List?

My last option would be to use UpdateForm/LastSubmit, but that would force me to "redesign" many steps.

Hi @max81 ,

Have you tried

Patch(
    TestList,
    Defaults(TestList),
    Form1.Updates
);
Refresh(TestList);
Set(varID,Last(TestList).ID);

Hi @WarrenBelz : yes, I tried. But without success.

I also tried:

Patch(
    TestList,
    Defaults(TestList),
    Form1.Updates
);
Refresh(TestList);
Set(varID,Last(TestList).ID);
Refresh(TestList);
Set(varID,Last(TestList).ID);

Also without success. 

My workaround: first make an Submit with just the required field, than use LastSubmit to get the ID then Patch the missing fields.
But I still hope that there is a solution...

Try
Patch(
TestList,
Defaults(TestList),
Form1.Updates
);
Refresh (TestList);
ClearCollect(MyTest,TestList);
Set(varID,Last(MyTest).ID)

Hi @max81 ,

The reason I did not mention LastSubmit was that you were using a Patch instead of SubmitForm, which triggers that value.

Going back to your original post, you mentioned calling a Flow. You can return as (generally), the last item a value to Power Apps which can be the ID of what you have posted, however the posting would have to be from the Flow, not the Patch. This also uses a Flow quota which from what I see would be unnecessary simply to write data to a list.

You could also consider a (hidden) timer after the refresh for (say) five seconds before you do the Collect.,

Hi @max81 ,

I think this should work for you. It can not only complete the patch function but also save the ID of the current patched record in the variable

Set(varID, Patch(TestList,Defaults(TestList),Form1.Updates).ID)

@v-siky-msft perfect. I didn't know that.

@WarrenBelz thanks also for your help.
