Posted on by Omar Bouattour 45
Hello I tried to execute this Patch powerfx formula but it didnt work : 
Patch( Parcours, Defaults(Parcours),{Nom: "Copy of " & Self.Selected.Item.Nom} );
Notify("A copy of the selected asset, " & Self.Selected.Item.Nom & ", has been created. Please open the record and update the necessary fields.")
I get 3 errors : 
- Invalid number of arguments: received 1, expected 2 or more.
- Unexpected characters. The formula contains 'ParenClose' where 'Error' is expected.
- Unexpected characters. Characters are used in the formula in an unexpected way.
What am I doing wrong please : this is an image for the error

    Hi,

    I have tried in my instance and it works as expected. Please see below my Formula -

    Patch(Employees, Defaults(Employees),{'msft_employeenumber':"Copy of " & Self.Selected.Item.'Employee Number'});

    Notify("A copy of the selected asset, " & Self.Selected.Item.'Employee Number' & ", has been created. Please open the record and update the necessary fields.");

    The only diference I found is the field schema name in Patch function. Can you please specify Name field schema name in single quote to see if it works.

    I dont think this is the case, even if I try : Patch( Parcours, Defaults(Parcours),{'zs_Nom': "Copy"} )

    I get the same error
