Writing data into PostgreSQL database results in AutoIncrement column error

[ArthurPedrosa]

Hi there!

I'm developing an application that has it's datasource a few tables from a database in PostgreSQL. I made sequences for each of the id columns of these tables and set them to primary key columns. The problem starts when I try to submit a form from powerapps that has one of those tables as a datasource, it says that the column that represents the id (with is the primary key and is a sequence) is required and therefore the sumbission of the form can't be completed.

Now, I'm a noob in db and powerapps, but in my point of view powerapps should had basiclly ignored this column in the form since it will be handled in the database directly. Am I wrong?

Thank you for your time

Hi @ArthurPedrosa 

Unfortunately, there is a bug that prevents this from working correctly. There are more details in my post here.

The only workaround as far as I'm aware is to generate your own sequential numbers from within Power Apps (although I appreciate that this is far from ideal).

But let me ask you something. This solution of yours will work on large datasets? because I belive there will be a delegation issue if you try to generate your own sequence in powerapps
