Question

A canvas app lets field technicians submit inspection records to a Dataverse table using a Patch call inside an OnSelect. Occasionally the Patch fails due to a required-field business rule violation or a transient network error, and the technician sees no feedback while the record is silently lost. You must ensure that any failure is caught, the technician is shown a friendly message, and successful saves navigate to a confirmation screen. Which approach should you implement?

Accepted Answer

Wrap the Patch in IfError(), inspecting FirstError.Message to display a Notify() on failure and navigating on success, and set Formula-level error management on in App settings.

Answer

Set the DetailForm's OnFailure and OnSuccess properties, then call SubmitForm() from OnSelect instead of Patch().

Answer

Add a Timer control that polls the record after Patch to verify it was written, then Notify() the technician based on the poll result.

Answer

Enable the Errors() function on the data source and bind a gallery to it so the technician can review any accumulated Dataverse errors after submitting.
