For anyone wondering how to patch attachment column, you can, but for any reason, you have to write at the end of your patch function : patch {….}, form1.updates, form1 this edit form where the attachment component is, and it works !

This was very helpful to gather the user information from 365 however, what is the formula or input to retrieve the manager's information? I've tried multiple codes/inputs and I can't seem to figure it out.

dear reza thanks for the video.do you know how to patch crm yes/no toogle from power apps please.i got two radio buttons yes,no in powerppas if i select yes from powerapps and click submit it needs to update in crm .toggle should change to yes and vice versa .i tried path in if condition i am getting errors some how
This video is purely focussed around Power Apps. For CRM (CDS) the format for patching is a little different. When you are Patching for Yes/No type column in CRM use 'colName (EntityName)'.Yes where colName - is name of your field and EntityName is name of your entity.
why does you patch only patches the value you targeted ? what i mean is for the last part if you want to specificaly target another line you cannot because you specificaly targeted the title "RD". How can i do to target the line i clicked on ?

Hi Pricilla , If you are using Patch to create a new record, then all mandatory columns need to have values. If you are using Patch to update a record, then you can update your fields of choice.
Great Video. I need to do the same thing than you with "subject" but my "subjects" refer to an another sharepoint list as your "class". So There is a multiple selection i need to patch in a column with multiple choices and these column refer to an another list. How can i pass multiple ids?

Great reference video for all column types, thanks. I’ve come across an issue though with a sharepoint look up column. My list uses a site column which looks up to list on the root site in the site collection however if I try to patch to it the lookup field isn’t visible. If the look up points to a list on the same site then all is well, but not if it is looking at the parent site. Any ideas?
Hi Ian, Great question. I have not tried it. My guess would be that you would need to include some sought of relationship with the root site. Modern SharePoint world is flat, meaning you build site collections and not sub sites. You can also relate sites together using the new hub features. There is also new CT hub publishing features coming soon.
@@RezaDorrani Many thanks for your reply. I am finding your videos very helpful. My issue comes from having a legacy sharepoint set up with a large hierarchy of sites and sub sites. Following the demise of sharepoint designer it’s a shame MS didn’t consider backward compatibility with power apps functionality. I’ll investigate the hub features you’ve mentioned and see what they have to offer as a solution. I don’t suppose you have done a video on them as well, have you. Many thanks again.

SharePoint has a limit of 12. That cannot be changed in sharepoint online. You would either have to change the column types or look for a different data source.
This video was super helpful, thank you. I'm having an issue with the Patch function in which I want to keep the records that already exist in a multiple select field, but simply add an additional record. To be more specific I have a multiple select people field in my sharepoint list. If record already contains others in the column I want to keep them there, but also add the user to it. Not sure how to keep records that are already in the column and add another record without completely replacing them.
You should store the existing values related to the field in a variable. Then let user make new selections and prior to patching merge the existing and new selection values. Also, ideally you would want to show the existing values to the user so they can just update them.

Hi Reza, your awesome. Each and every video of your is very informative and easy to understand for beginners like me. One quick question on this. Say for my requirement I just have a form which need to update and I'm using PATCH function and there is no Gallery or DataTables to select from. But however I'm having a Dropdown in PowerBI to filter this Form(Power BI and PowerApp integration). So in this case is there a syntax which I could use in this place of Defaults(Source_Name)? Because I cannot use Lookup nor First nor Filter functions.
Thanks Pavan. Even in case of power bi and power apps integration, the home screen will have a gallery. Check ruclips.net/video/5y2jJyH4Eu0/видео.html Defaults is used only when you want to create new item. When editing data for form, you will need the item context.
Hi Mustafa, Lookup columns need the following format { Value: "", Id: 2// Id of lookup column } So a multi values lookup would be Table( { Value: "", Id: 2// Id of lookup column }, { Value: "", Id: 1// Id of lookup column } ) Table(Value:Dropdown.selected.value) is not working for you since format is not right. Also dropdown.selected.value will only give you the text. Try the format shown in this message.
I got a lookup column and the user selects multiple items. Then I save it to the collection. Then on a final screen, I got a submit button, I patch the collection to the Sharepoint list. But for the lookup column, I am getting errors. I am trying Metadata(SP):{Value: metadata(collection).Value, Id: metadata(collection).Id}
What is comment? A column or office comments? Patch supports column data. For office comments - I have done a recent video on "Build a Chat experience in Power Apps"
Great walkthrough, question - do you ever work with collections? If so, how do you use a dropdown and or a datepicker in the collection and patch it to a sharepoint list?
Hey Reza, I am making the Editable Grid based on your video. On both of these videos everything is working except patching the date. even to the collection I can't patch a date from DatePicker, if I use Today() it works, but I am unable to get datepicker working with patch and I've searched all over. Please advise.
It should simply be datepicker.selecteddate. I dont think there is much more to it. Probably has to do with format of date. See what today() returns and compare it with what you are providing from date picker. I have not faced any issues with dates hence my advise is limited to what I know. I recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani today() works. and when I substitute in any of the following: I've tried: ApprovalDate: dateApprovalDate.SelectedDate (it's last in the list so no comma) ApprovalDate: { '@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference", DateValue:dateApprovalDate.SelectedDate }.DateValue and just for fun: ApprovalDate: { DateValue:dateApprovalDate.SelectedDate }.DateValue I get nothing. I see it in the gallery and then I can see the patch running (little dots moving) then as it tries the date, the frame around it goes bold and the date disappears out of the gallery and isn't in the collection, so when I patch the collection, it's not on the sp list b/c it gets wiped out of the collection. I've looked at every event to see if somehow *I* wiped it out and I don't see anything. I will look into formats and mess around, if anything I've replied with gives you more ideas, I'm just stuck. Thanks Reza for replying. I appreciate it.
@@RezaDorrani Hey Reza, I changed the format, it still didn't work but I noticed when I changed to long format, it first put the longformat date into the gallery field and then it switched to what the format really should be which is mm/dd/yyyy briefly and then blanked out again. Very odd behavior I will check with the forum but, again, if that sparks an idea please share. thanks, Sir.

This was very helpful to gather the user information from 365 however, what is the formula or input to retrieve the manager's information? I've tried multiple codes/inputs and I can't seem to figure it out.
You would need to use the office 365 users connector to get that information.
I do not have a video reference on this scenario. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Excellent Video, Please tell us the remaining topic videos.

I have a question if I have 3 screens with 3 edit forms and these edit forms have different fields from different tables from my database and I have a button on the last page to save all the information the user inputted how can I save all the information into my database?
If they are form controls, you can simply use the SubmitForm function to submit the data to your database.
dear reza thanks for the video.do you know how to patch crm yes/no toogle from power apps please.i got two radio buttons yes,no in powerppas
if i select yes from powerapps and click submit it needs to update in crm .toggle should change to yes and vice versa .i tried path in if condition i am getting errors some how
This video is purely focussed around Power Apps. For CRM (CDS) the format for patching is a little different.
When you are Patching for Yes/No type column in CRM use 'colName (EntityName)'.Yes where colName - is name of your field and EntityName is name of your entity.
@@RezaDorrani thanks very much will try that
Hi; Time: 13:40 How are the details unlocked?
I did not understand your question.
why does you patch only patches the value you targeted ? what i mean is for the last part if you want to specificaly target another line you cannot because you specificaly targeted the title "RD". How can i do to target the line i clicked on ?

Hi Pricilla ,
If you are using Patch to create a new record, then all mandatory columns need to have values.
If you are using Patch to update a record, then you can update your fields of choice.

Great reference video for all column types, thanks. I’ve come across an issue though with a sharepoint look up column. My list uses a site column which looks up to list on the root site in the site collection however if I try to patch to it the lookup field isn’t visible. If the look up points to a list on the same site then all is well, but not if it is looking at the parent site. Any ideas?
Hi Ian,
Great question. I have not tried it. My guess would be that you would need to include some sought of relationship with the root site.
Modern SharePoint world is flat, meaning you build site collections and not sub sites. You can also relate sites together using the new hub features. There is also new CT hub publishing features coming soon.
@@RezaDorrani Many thanks for your reply. I am finding your videos very helpful. My issue comes from having a legacy sharepoint set up with a large hierarchy of sites and sub sites. Following the demise of sharepoint designer it’s a shame MS didn’t consider backward compatibility with power apps functionality. I’ll investigate the hub features you’ve mentioned and see what they have to offer as a solution. I don’t suppose you have done a video on them as well, have you. Many thanks again.

This video was super helpful, thank you. I'm having an issue with the Patch function in which I want to keep the records that already exist in a multiple select field, but simply add an additional record. To be more specific I have a multiple select people field in my sharepoint list. If record already contains others in the column I want to keep them there, but also add the user to it. Not sure how to keep records that are already in the column and add another record without completely replacing them.
You should store the existing values related to the field in a variable. Then let user make new selections and prior to patching merge the existing and new selection values.
Also, ideally you would want to show the existing values to the user so they can just update them.

Hi Reza, your awesome. Each and every video of your is very informative and easy to understand for beginners like me.
One quick question on this. Say for my requirement I just have a form which need to update and I'm using PATCH function and there is no Gallery or DataTables to select from. But however I'm having a Dropdown in PowerBI to filter this Form(Power BI and PowerApp integration). So in this case is there a syntax which I could use in this place of Defaults(Source_Name)? Because I cannot use Lookup nor First nor Filter functions.
Thanks Pavan.
Even in case of power bi and power apps integration, the home screen will have a gallery.
Check ruclips.net/video/5y2jJyH4Eu0/видео.html
Defaults is used only when you want to create new item.
When editing data for form, you will need the item context.

Hey Reza, how to Patch Multi- Value Lookup Column in SP List, Table(Value:Dropdown.selected.value) not working for me.
Hi Mustafa,
Lookup columns need the following format
{
Value: "",
Id: 2// Id of lookup column
}
So a multi values lookup would be
Table(
{
Value: "",
Id: 2// Id of lookup column
},
{
Value: "",
Id: 1// Id of lookup column
}
)
Table(Value:Dropdown.selected.value) is not working for you since format is not right. Also dropdown.selected.value will only give you the text. Try the format shown in this message.
I got a lookup column and the user selects multiple items. Then I save it to the collection. Then on a final screen, I got a submit button, I patch the collection to the Sharepoint list. But for the lookup column, I am getting errors. I am trying Metadata(SP):{Value: metadata(collection).Value, Id: metadata(collection).Id}
Is your lookup column multi select or single?
A collection is an array - you can only pass 1 value at a time to the Value and Id property.
Hello Reza, thank you for the video. I would like to know if there is a way to enter a comment in the SharePoint List using Patch.

Please advise.
It should simply be datepicker.selecteddate. I dont think there is much more to it.
Probably has to do with format of date. See what today() returns and compare it with what you are providing from date picker.
I have not faced any issues with dates hence my advise is limited to what I know.

I see it in the gallery and then I can see the patch running (little dots moving) then as it tries the date, the frame around it goes bold and the date disappears out of the gallery and isn't in the collection, so when I patch the collection, it's not on the sp list b/c it gets wiped out of the collection.

I have a problem in refreshing the item in Browse Gallery after adding a record in powerapps, but it updated in sharepoint list. It seems just the gallery not updating. how to fix this issue?
Is there a limitation on how many records can be displayed by a gallery?
If you are using a collection as the gallery items property then you need to ensure you reload the collection.
No limits. If your formula supports delegation - gallery will load data in batches of 100

@@RezaDorraniThanks for the reply. If I have more than 50,000 items record, Can it be showing all by sortbycolumn and with filtering and searching function. Because my data only showing 2000 items and stop refreshing. And I am wondering to delete the old records by using flow. (which is the final tools to handle it).
By the way, is that any successful flow for deleting the old record items (e.g. delete 14days ago record) , because no recurring flow about deleting the old item.

Found it. Thanks!!!! Can you patch to tables at the same time?
Which Tables?
Hello Reza,
can you help please for this error
1-the requested operation is not valid. server response .....
2-Network error while using the Patch function: The requested operation is invalid.
I'm really saturated
thanks
I have not come across either of the mentioned issues and hence not sure what the fix for your issues are. I recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
ok thanks@@RezaDorrani
Great Video. Translationen
Glad you liked it!
Hi Reza, your videos are always great.
What is the best practice for a multi select combo box when multiple choices are made or updated? Can this patch function be updated to handle that?
Thanks again.
Yes, works with all column types except attachments. I did a recent video on Patch function (check if that helps) + video description has link to a blogpost I wrote on Patch function and all SharePoint column types.
@@RezaDorrani Thank you, I missed the link to the blog. Very informative and have added my email.
How am I able to add not only my multi select lookup choices and my other fields to the same patch and how is patch used with Table as you show?
I know your busy, so I apologize for bothering you; I'm just struggling to make this work for my project.
@@golfnutt8 I do not have a specific video on that. And would have to try it out to let you know how. I would recommend posting your query with screenshots on the forums powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani I did and I have found multiple functions that look like they would help but not with what I am doing.
For all I know, being somewhat new to this, is I may be going about this all wrong. I will keep looking.
Thanks again.
Great informative video
Glad it was helpful!
HI REZA,HAVE FOUND THAT COLLECTION AND FOR ALL WITH PATCH MAKES NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE .IS USING COLLECTION FOR PATCH IS OTHER OPTION OTHER THAN FOR ALL.thank you for your response.
Patch collection is way faster than forall and more performant.

Thanks Reza, it is great video. Do you know how to patch person field with null?
Thank you and you really asked me a question that got me thinking. I found the solution and I would surely be sharing this soon on my twitter handle @rezadorrani. Credit to you.
Your need to do 2 things
1 - Go to experimental feature and turn on formula level error management
2 - Patch your person column as follows
PersonColName: Blank()
Let me know how it goes.
I don't know why but Choices doesn't work for me. I needed to use Distinct(UK_Contacts, UK_Segment)
Choices is a standard function that works with Choice and Lookup type columns. I recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
