There was a problem saving your data. Data cannot be saved when running in a web browser - Notification

[sahilauzim]

Hello guys,

I'm having an issue when I'm saving Items in my collection. But the item is saving in my collection. But everytime when i save an item, this error message appears. 

The code I have use is: 

Collect(Offline_Gallery,
{
Title: title.Text,
Date: DataCardValue10.Text,
Car: DataCardValue6.Selected,
NumericData: DataCardValue7.Selected,
Colors:DataCardValue8.Selected

}
);
SaveData('Offline_Gallery',"SavedItems");

And also, "OnStart", i have use LoadData(Offline_Gallery, "SavedItems");

Can you please give a solution of how to get clear of this error.

Hello @sahilauzim 

You should still be able to enable this through:

• Settings > Upcoming features > Experimental > Enabled SaveData, LoadData, ClearData on

Is this enabled? Also, are you testing this in the app editor/preview, or through the web player?

[sahilauzim]

I have already tried it. But still not good.

[sahilauzim]

I have enabled it and I'm testing it on app preview. But still having the error message.

@sahilauzim thing to be noted is:

I'm sure you test this functionality after saving published and on a mobile device.

Hello @sahilauzim 

It won't work when testing it in the Power Apps studio. See this snippet from the SaveData, LoadData and ClearData docs:

You can't use these functions inside a browser when:

• Authoring the app in Power Apps Studio.

To test your app, run it in Power Apps Mobile on an iPhone or Android device.

These functions are limited by the amount of available app memory as they operate on an in-memory collection. Available memory can vary depending on factors such as:

• The device and operating system.
• The memory that the Power Apps player uses.
• Complexity of the app with screens and controls.

Okay. I think it will good. I have an application that I have developed. I tested it again in the app preview, it was good. But with the new application that I'm developing, I'm having this issue. That's why, I wanted to confirm.

I will publish it and test it.

Thanks

Okay, thank you.

Hi @A_Madsen 

I found it in Preview section now. What does it means the part "stored in the browser storage"?

It is meaning when I use Google or Edge that data is stored in memory in cookies?

I'm newer with PowerApps so I discover everyday. One of our department is using Inspection Sample in ms team and I'm doing some changes for them with PowerApps in ms team.

Thanks in advance,

Dave
