Adding Column from Datatable in PowerApps to different Table in CDS - using Forall records and Patch(?)

Hello,

I want with a push of a button let user create new record in one of my tables, from different Datable which I have filtered in Canvas App.

Ive tried this:

ForAll(DataTable2.Subtitle, Patch( HereWeDownloadIDS, Defaults( HereWeDownloadIDS ), { IdOfDownloadedItem
: DataTable2.Subtitle } ))

Received error:

Z_Lukowski_0-1611789353746.png'

And also Issue:

"The Function "for all" have some invalid arguments

 

Im not sure about the syntax or even if Forall and iterating through each record and Patch is good approach.

My fate is in your hands 🙂

Hi @Z_Lukowski ,

 

Could you tell me:

What's the data type of DataTable2.Subtitle column? 

What's the data type of IdOfDownloadedItem column? 

 

Their data types need to be the same.

Hi @Z_Lukowski , 

 

I'm very sorry I didn't notice that you used datatable control.

According to my test, datatable conotrol cannot currently support this formula.

I suggest you use gallery control instead of datatable control.

 

You could try this formula:

ForAll(Gallery1.AllItems.Subtitle,Patch(HereWeDownloadIDS,Defaults(HereWeDownloadIDS),{IdOfDownloadedItem:Subtitle}))

// Gallery1 is the name of my gallery control .

@Z_Lukowski, what is the Items property of your data table? Assuming it is Table1, you could try something like this: 

ForAll(Table1, Patch( HereWeDownloadIDS, Defaults( HereWeDownloadIDS ), { IdOfDownloadedItem
: ThisRecord.Subtitle } ))
This assumes Subtitle is the column from which you want to copy the value. 
Let me know if this helps.

Hi @Z_Lukowski ,

 

Could you tell me:

  • What's the data type of Subtitle? Is it a Text column?

 

If my assumption is correct, Please try the formula below:

ForAll(DataTable2.Subtitle, Patch( HereWeDownloadIDS, Defaults( HereWeDownloadIDS ), { IdOfDownloadedItem
: Subtitle } ))

 

You should use Subtitle instead of DataTable2.Subtitle

Hey Hardit,  @PowerAddict 

So I've tried:

ForAll(DataTable2, Patch( HereWeDownloadIDS, Defaults( HereWeDownloadIDS ), { IdOfDownloadedItem
: ThisRecord.Subtitle } ))

Still did not work, I have also errors: Function forall has some invalid arguments, Function Patch has some invalid arguments, Name isn't valid, the identifier isn't recognized and close to my Datatable2 info that this is not valid argument.

I;ve used Insert->Datatable to create my table view in Power apps, it has a column ThisItem.Subtitle with 2 records filtered.

Hey @v-xiaochen-msft 

Hey, yes, subtitle is text (in CDS tables):

Z_Lukowski_0-1611823557342.png

and the other is Text and primary column:

Hi @Z_Lukowski ,

 

I did a test for you:

1\ This is my table ‘DataTable2’

181.PNG

 

 

2\ This is my table ‘HereWeDownloadIDS

v-xiaochen-msft_1-1611825114853.png

 

 

3\ Add a button control and set its onselect property to:

 

ForAll(DataTable2S.Subtitle,Patch(HereWeDownloadIDS,Defaults(HereWeDownloadIDS),{IdOfDownloadedItem:Subtitle}))

 

v-xiaochen-msft_2-1611825114856.png

 

 

4\ The result is as follows:

v-xiaochen-msft_3-1611825114856.png

 

 

It should be noted that there can be no empty values in 'DataTable2.Subtitle', because IdOfDownloadedItem is a Primary Name Column .Its value is required.

Otherwise the formula will report an error.

 

Best Regards,

Wearsky

Hey @v-xiaochen-msft 

The thing Ive missed based on your solution (sorry, im fairly new to the concept of power apps) is that my Datatble2 is only in Power apps (made with insert->datatable) and it was created based on Table "Badges" in CDS.

So "Datatable2 in my example is only created in powerapps and is displaying records from "Badges" table in CDS. I've also used filter for this table based on my criteria and I want to export those filter results into final table "HereweDownloadIDs"(this one is in CDS)

I'm Sorry if that was confusing, really appreciated your help,

Based on this explanation is this action possible? patching filtered datatable in power apps into another table in CDS?

Best Regards
