4, 5 or 7 syntaxes for the Patch function in Power Apps


The Patch function in Power Apps has 5 different syntaxes that can be used for creating or updating records in a data source. These syntaxes include variations such as repeating update parameters and merging records. Syntax 1 is used to update a record with primary keys and returns the updated row. Syntax 2 is the most common way of updating or creating a record in a data source. Syntax 3 allows for multiple updates on selected records in one go. Syntax 4 is offered by Intellisense but doesn't seem to be available. Syntax 5 is used to update a single record without updating the data source. Using the Patch function correctly can greatly improve the performance of Power Apps.
