Unable to update field of a gallery

[Sephirot2000MU]

Hi,

I want to allow users to modify and save a text box inside a gallery in my app.

I add a Button and set the onselect property to:

When I perform a change in the textbox and press the button it show me this error.

Error in [GalleryName]. To add elements to the docs library use SPFileCollection.Add().

I try to use Collect(PLANOS_MONTAJE_A;{PASOS: TextInput1.Text}) but does not work.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Operation not valid.

Error in [LibraryName]. To add element to the docs library use SPFileCollection.Add()

I try to use Collect(PLANOS_MONTAJE_A;{PASOS: TextInput1.Text}) instead but despite the error does not shows, doesn´t work.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hey @Sephirot2000MU ,

I think the problem is with the syntax. 

You're using this : Collect(PLANOS_MONTAJE_A;{PASOS: TextInput1.Text})

Replace ";" by "," after collection name.

Use : Collect(PLANOS_MONTAJE_A , {PASOS: TextInput1.Text})

I think it is considering this whole thing as collection (datasource) name "PLANOS_MONTAJE_A;{PASOS: TextInput1.Text}". That is why it is showing "Error in [GalleryName]".

I hope this simplifies your query if any more question let me know.

Warmly

Thanks but does not work.

The error message doesn´t show but the field reload with the original content.

Here I delete the content of the box

Now I press the button to update and the original content returns to the field.

Hey @Sephirot2000MU ,

After applying patch or update function. Try refreshing the collection or data source (Syntax: Refresh(DataSourceName)) may be data is updated at back-end and not updated here.

If it's not the case then check your update function if data is getting updated or not. I mean is it setting original value to "" instead of existing value.

Hi again.

Where I must put the Refresh(DataSourceName)?

[RishabBehl31]

Hey @Sephirot2000MU ,

After you've applied patch function or any update function on the On Select property of the button you're using to save/update the record.

Syntax: Patch(Something, Something, ... ); Refresh(DataSourceName)

Warmly,

Hi again.

Same error. My button has this on the property.

Collect(PLANOS_MONTAJE_A; {PASOS: TextInput1.Text};Patch(PLANOS_MONTAJE_A;{PASOS:TextInput1.Text}) ;Refresh(PLANOS_MONTAJE_A))

@Sephirot2000MU ,

You have to tell Power Apps which record to Patch. The below is an example using the List ID (you would have to refer to it where I have YourSelectedID.

Patch(
   PLANOS_MONTAJE_A;
   {ID:YourSelectedID};
   {PASOS:TextInput1.Text}
);
Refresh(PLANOS_MONTAJE_A)
