Why Power Apps Patch function doesn't work properly

Why sometimes Power Apps patch function doesn't update the records as we expect? Sometimes it throws error, sometimes it creates a new record instead of updating and sometimes it just doesn't do anything and you wonder why. In this video we examine Patch function behavior to get the answer to all those questions.

I was confused on how to properly use it and I ran into the issues you called out. Now it makes sense. Thank you for making this video.

Even using the lookup function: Network error while using patch function: Conflict exists with changes on the server, please reload... and it is adding a record with an auto incrementing primary name

I am having a weird issue. Whenever I run the patch function for the first trial when creating a new record, it doesn't work. But when I run it again for the same record, it works. Is there a way to fix this? Would Collect be more reliable?

What if Im patching by just passing a collection? i.e Patch(sqltable, datacol), where datacol carries the ID of the row and the field to be patched.

Im using a sharepoint integration app if i try to patch the status column and also use submit form on a button it creates a situation where the two command fight for which changes to use.

I'm working on one scenario where users can fill out a form and save it as a draft. If a user fills out some data and saves it as a draft, then closes the app, the next time they open the application, the data they previously saved as a draft should be populated in the form automatically. Please help.
