Question

A canvas app used by field technicians intermittently displays stale data in a gallery bound to a Dataverse table. Users report that after they edit a record on the detail screen and navigate back, the gallery sometimes still shows the old values. You need to determine whether the app is issuing a refresh call to Dataverse and inspect the actual network requests and responses being sent when the user navigates. Which approach should you use first to diagnose the issue?

Accepted Answer

Open Monitor from Power Apps Studio, connect a published session, and inspect the network and formula events captured as the user reproduces the navigation.

Answer

Enable the Formula-level error management setting and add IfError() wrappers around every data operation on the detail screen.

Answer

Add a Timer control on the gallery screen that calls Refresh() every 5 seconds to force the data to stay current.

Answer

Turn on the Explicit column selection setting in advanced app settings to reduce the number of columns retrieved.
