Why are SharePoint list items duplicating automatically?

My list acts as a task list and is populated through a MS Form and then power automate. This process works as it should and allows users to add up to 20 different tasks (Items) within the list at once. However I have set up a custom form within the list that has been edited through power apps and allows users to add a singular task if they want. Tasks are grouped by area. If I add a single task to an area through the power app, this task doesn't appears, but instead just duplicates all the tasks that were already under that area and creates a new group of that area. So I then delete the duplicated items and the original ones then automatically get removed also, leaving me with the individual task added...  Any Idea what's causing this? I have an identical set up for a separate part of the factory and do not have this problem ( This one was set up first). However I checked both against each other in terms of the power app set up and cannot find the problem. Any suggestions?

    Tom898 you'll need to give us screenshots of the flow and the patch function in the app before we can work out what is happening.
