Powerapps forAll + PATCH function Very Slow

‎01-18-2024 09:01 AM

Hello experts! 

i am really desperate for help here. (i cant sleep anymore thinking about this lol!) so here is my situation. i have created a canvas app for site visit form. im using a SP list as my data source for form template and another SP list for the results. Now, i created the form without using form control in powerapps because there are 122 questions and i didnt want to create 122 columns in SP list so i used Gallery instead. Long story short i have to section the questions so the user doesnt get overwhelmed with one big form so i ended up creating 15 different galleries. so far everything is working fine but its VERY SLOWWWW when i patch the 15 galleries ALL items (total of 122 questions) to sp list.

 

I have to patch all the items (all questions) in the gallery so that it would be on the SP list . The purpose of this is because the user may not be able to finish the form. User will save the draft and continue later. i have to patch all the question to the sp list so they can come back and answer the rest of the question or edit.

 

i saw this blog and tried to follow it https://www.matthewdevaney.com/patch-multiple-records-in-power-apps-10x-faster/ and this https://www.matthewdevaney.com/fastest-way-to-patch-all-gallery-items-power-apps/ but i cant figure out how to apply it on my patch function.

 

Please help!!

 

here is my function and i  repeated the code 15 times for each gallery, separating them function by ";"

If every gallery has the same metadata structure, try to use

 

Collect(MyCollection, Gallery1.AllItems);

Collect(MyCollection, Gallery2.AllItems);

...

 

And then

ForAll(MyCollection, Patch(SharePointList, Defaults(SharePointList),{Your structure})

@FishinKmac 

i didnt use the form because each individual questions would have to be individual columns in the sharepoint list. 

i tried doing it though (i created 122 columns in sp) with the form control but the app loads very slow. its about 6mins before it fully load. 

 

i have 2 sp list. one for question template and one for saving the results.

 

i need to patch each questions and answer results as individual row in sp list. like this:

OKay next question ... (sorry for all of the questions)  For each gallery are you adding new line items in the form? From what i can tell you are just answering single questions with some conditions. 

 

I still dont think you need a gallery, maybe a container and some controls on the screen but not a gallery. If you aren't adding new line items the for all is really only looking at one items and multiple controls for the one item. 

 

If that is the case i would have restructure as I suggested above and then have a next button that is present on each screen with a code similar to this 

Next Button OnSelect

Switch(varSection, 
"Staffing", 
Collect(colSiteVisit, 
{
            LineVisitDate: dp_SiteVisitDate_Info.SelectedDate,
            LineLocation: dd_Loc_Info.SelectedText.Value,
            LineRDORGM: lbl_rdoRgm_Val.Text,
            LinePIC: lbl_Pic_Val.Text,
            LineTitle: btn_title_Staffing.Text,
            LineStatus: DD_Status.SelectedText,
            LineSort: lbl_sort_Staff.Text,
            LineQuestions: lbl_qstions_Staff.Text,
            LineComments: txtInpt_forNo_Staff.Text,
            LineOverallComments: txtInpt_Answer_Staff.Text,
            LineAnswers: radioYN_Staff.Selected.Value,
            LineColType: lbl_Coltyp_Staff.Text
        })
, 
"PSOS", 
Collect(colSiteVisit
 {
            LineVisitDate: dp_SiteVisitDate_Info.SelectedDate,
            LineLocation: dd_Loc_Info.SelectedText.Value,
            LineRDORGM: lbl_rdoRgm_Val.Text,
            LinePTC: lbl_Pic_Val.Text,
            LineStatus: DD_Status.SelectedText,
            LineSort: lbl_sort_PSOS.Text,
            LineTitle: btn_title_PSOS.Text,
            LineQuestions: lbl_qstions_PSOS.Text,
            LineComments: txtInpt_forNo_PSOS.Text,
            LineOverallComments: txtInpt_Answer_PSOS.Text,
            LineAnswers: LradioYN_PSOS.Selected.Value,            ),
            LineColType: lbl_Coltyp_PSOS.Text
        }))

 

Then you can have a Save Button that Patches

ForAll(
    colSiteVisit,
    Patch(
        'Site Visit Form Results',
        Defaults('Site Visit Form Results'),
        {
            SiteVisitDate: LineVisitDate.SelectedDate,
           'Location': LineLocation.Value,
            'RDO/RGM': LineRDORGM.Text,
            PIC: LinePIC.Text,
            Status: LineStatus.Text,
            Sort: LineSort.Text,
            Title: LineTitle.Text,
            Questions: LineQuestion.Text,
            'Overall Comments': LineOverallComment.Text,
            Answers: LineAnswer.Value
            ColType: LineColeTyle.Text

        }
    )
)

 

Something along these lines

@abbyamante , looking at that form, I honestly think the best solution might be to patch as you go...meaning, every time the user updates a question, go ahead and patch that record back. This would avoid the ForAlls and the need for a collection.


To do that, you can add this to the OnChange for the radio button control.

Patch(datasource,thisrecord)

@abbyamante ,

 

I have built an example of what I'm suggesting. I have a datasource and a radio button control. As soon as I click an option on the radio button, it immediately patches the datasource with the new value. 

This prevents a ForAll or a Collection from having to handle the patch.


In this example, the value on the left corresponds with the option selected in the radio button. As soon as the radio button is changed, the record is immediately patched back to the datasource and the value on the left updates (because it's pointing to that field in the datasource). Is this what you're trying to do?

 

jrletner_1-1705630864627.png


Now they change:

jrletner_2-1705630893220.png


I put this code in the OnChange property of the radio button control:

jrletner_3-1705630926360.png

@jrletner yes i tried this. and it does work. but it only works if i made a change on the radio button. i need to patch all items in the gallery even though there is NO change in the item. here is the reason for this.

 

the form has 122 questions. i sectioned the questions into 15 galleries. (i divided the 122 questions to 15 galleries). when the user creates a new form normally they only finish 2 sections of the form. I need to create a function that will allow the user to save and continue later. So what i did is even though the user did made a change or update on the rest of the sections of the form. i patch all the items (the items are basically the questions) in the sharepoint. then i created another gallery so the user can continue to fill out the rest of the sections of the form. 

 

your suggestion above is absolutely working and it patch to the sharepoint list. but its missing the rest of the questions. So when the user comes back they wont be able to fill out the rest of the form because the rest of the question is missing

@abbyamante I understand now. So, yes, a collection is the way to go. 

 

The easiest way to do this is in the OnStart property of your App:

 

ClearCollect(myCollection, myDataSource)  <--- this creates a collection from the datasource

 

Then, have your gallery point to the Collection.

 

Then, OnChange of the Radio Button Control:   

 

Patch(myCollection, ThisItem)  <--- as the user makes changes, the collection is patched with the updates.

 

When the user is done: 

 

Patch(myDataSource, myCollection)  <--- this will patch all records from the collection back to the datasource in one mass update (instead of a ForAll).
