[Bug]: Values Clearing on Initial Save

[lukecarl]

Component

PolyLookup

Component version

1.70

Current Behavior

When creating a new record and selecting values in the PolyLookup field in my form, that values disappear on the initial save. When I add the values back in and click Save they don't disappear.

Expected Behavior

The values in the field using the PolyLookup save after initial save.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add values in field with PolyLookup PCF control
2. Click either Save or Save & Close
3. Values disappear

Additional context

I've attached images of my current settings. I'm guessing I'm missing something so feedback on this would be most welcome.

hi, thanks for reporting. it's a known limitation for now. this is expected for any related records in PowerApps, we'll need to save the main/parent record first before we can add any related/children records. To workaround this, we'll need to save the json to a field, and we'll need to write some logic (could be a flow or a plugin) to read the json and create related records after the main record is created.

Please read more about this here: https://github.com/khoait/DCE.PCF/wiki/PolyLookup#output-selected-items-as-a-json-array. I also have a sample plugin for this scenario.

Hope it helps!
