Hi all,
I am trying to use a Collection (Proposed) that I submit into a Gallery (Gallery1) as a 'basket'.
Then I want to submit all items into a SharePoint List (bp_proposed) and where items are brand new (Gallery1.Selected.New_x0020_Item_x003f_ = "Yes") it creates a new line, otherwise, it just makes amendments to an existing item.
The formula I have right now is on a button:
ForAll(Gallery1.AllItems, Patch(bp_proposed, If(Gallery1.Selected.New_x0020_Item_x003f_ = "Yes", Proposed, ID = ID, Proposed)))
It adds new items just fine but keeps saying the following on existing items:
"The list item could not be added or updated because duplicate values were found in the following field(s) in the list [BPID]"
I am confused as surely it should be picking up a duplicate value exists as that is what I am trying to overwrite with the new data???
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @TWolsten ,
I use something similar with new record selecting crew from a gallery based on a collection and then writing back to a SharePoint List. There will be other views on this, but I tend to keep code simple rather than trying to wrap multiple functions inside each other (also MUCH easier to debug), so firstly the new records. The reference to the collection Proposed is actually not needed as the data required is contained in the gallery and the ForAll on a gallery may be ambiguous if referring to something else. So for the new records, try this (works for me when all columns in the gallery line up [name, type] with a field in the List).
ClearCollect(
colNew,
DropColumns(
Filter(
ChooseGallery.AllItems,
New_x0020_Item_x003f_ = "Yes",
),
"ID"
)
);
Collect(
bp_proposed,
colNew
);
Clear(colNew)
Now the existing items
ForAll(
RenameColumns(
Filter(
ChooseGallery.AllItems,
New_x0020_Item_x003f_ = "No"
),
"ID",
"IDRef"
),
UpdateIf(
bp_proposed,
ID = IDRef,
{
Field1Name:Field1Name,
Field2Name:Field2Name,
Field3Name:Field3Name //and so on for the rest
}
)
)
Please give all this a go and see how it works for you.

Hi @TWolsten ,
I am thinking that is because you have the ID in the collection and you are trying to patch it back as a new record, into a field that insists on unique values.
I have tried DropColumns, but could not get it not quite right - the below should work if your current configuration does (I do it a bit differently) with an additional column IDRef in the data source.
ForAll(
RenameColumns(
Gallery1.AllItems,
"ID",
"IDRef"
),
Patch(
bp_proposed,
If(
Gallery1.Selected.New_x0020_Item_x003f_ = "Yes",
Proposed,
ID = IDRef,
Proposed
)
)
)

Thank you for the response @WarrenBelz
So even more confusing ID is not valid and states:
"Name not valid. This identifier is not recognised"
Any ideas why this would be?
ForAll(
RenameColumns(
Gallery1.AllItems,
"ID",
"IDRef"
),
Patch(
bp_proposed,
If(
Gallery1.Selected.New_x0020_Item_x003f_ = "Yes",
Proposed,
ID = IDRef,
Proposed
)
)
)
Hi @TWolsten,
UPDATE
I cannot test this, but firstly give this a try and if no go, I will head a slightly different direction.
ForAll(
RenameColumns(
Gallery1.AllItems,
"ID",
"IDRef"
),
Patch(
AddColumns(
bp_proposed,
"IDRef",
0
),
If(
Gallery1.Selected.New_x0020_Item_x003f_ = "Yes",
Proposed,
ID = IDRef,
Proposed
)
)
)
OK @TWolsten ,
bp_proposed is a collection - can you please do a View > Collections and see what is in the ID.
Also - what is Proposed?
@WarrenBelz - so you have hit the nail on the head. The ID doesn't exist in my Collection?
However, I have tried it with my backup Unique ID (Title) which is in the Collection and it still doesn't recognise it? (photo attached)
bp_proposed = SharePoint List
Proposed = Collection
Basically I have a Form (DataSource is Proposed i.e. a Collection) so when I submit the Form it goes into a Gallery (Gallery1) as a basket.
If the item from the Form is brand new then I want it to be submitted into the SharePoint List as a new line.
If the item from the Form already exists in the SharePoint List (via the unique columns of ID or Title) then it overwrites the changes
Thank you for all the help so far @WarrenBelz
Ok @TWolsten ,
To date, I have been "flying blind" trying to fix bits on the basis that the rest of the code worked for you.
So back to basics - this should not be hard to get a result.
So a few questions
Due to time zone, I will be offline shortly (10:00pm here), but will get this sorted for you.
You are an absolute star! Thank you for all your help.
