Blank fields when editing an existing list element
Please, I need someone's help. I have several lists in different sharepoint that worked as expected until a few days ago. Since then, when I try to edit an existing element in any list (I get the...

Hi Eva Vogel !!
We are almost there, but not yet.
You are completely ritght about using power automate, I use it for creating the elements in those lists. And I also think the problem is in the language, but I can't find where to correct it.
I mean, I asked my colleague to send me a picture of the list he can see on his computer and compare it to mine, and guess what? the dates are different:
Here's what he sees:
and here, what I see:
Mine is a mix between Spanish and English!!
So I checked what you told me, and changed to Spanish the same option you changed to German, but nothing happend 😞
Any idea how to continue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards, Marta

MartaGM the "user-friendly" format in Date/Time Columns can be changed into a user-understandable format. Pls. see my new "greatest hits" Date & Number Formatting blockbuster 🙂 if you want to review the settings on your flows and in happy end you will also see, that "user-friendly" does not correspond in a weird way with that new Date Control. Maybe this is the cause of your column trouble...
Next idea: the regional settings could have something to do with the Tenant Settings. If your company changed the subscribing options, maybe they pay less but now the tenant is located to another country (?)...
Another idea: If that Version Field in your list only accepts a Number, which deals with "." usually, but the "." is converted to a "," (Comma), it is a clear sign, that your list changed the regional settings for you. I know, this sucks. Pls. try inserting a Version "Number" with Commas instead of Dots.
Have a good day

Hi again, I'm already desesperated 😞
I can't find the error.I could make the column to display the date just in Spanish (not mix with English) by changing the regional options of my computer, but I see the same whether I choose friendly mode or standard in the list setting. I thought it was supposed to display something different... furthermore, my column is set to date & time format, it force me to add time when I change the value but then it doesn't appear on the list:

Hi again,
I hace confirmed the probelm is my computer (don't know where), because with my user I can edit those lists in my cellphone and in another computer.
By changing regional settings I managed to see the date columns in format date + time, but I still can't edit.
Any idea?
thanks again.

Hi. I'm in the same problem. Some of my team members started having that problem, when you enter the list item, the form is empty. Now I have the problem also (I'm the owner and admin rights). If I visualize the list in Sharepoint I don't have that problem. I will continue investigating what it can be. I also have a flow in power automate (to generate an incremental identifier) that may be the cause. I'm also a bit desperate. I'm going to make some changes in the regional settings to test ...
