Issue:

- When a user submits a quote from power apps a flow gets triggered via a power apps trigger. A custom app link is generated with that unique item id

- Approvers get an email, the value in the email as per the picture is correct and it's also consistent with the data source but when i open the app via deep link in the email i get inconsistencies in the values as shown via image.

- The data is consistent when you open the app normally or play it normally but via deep link the value is slightly off from what it should be in the email.

Things I've tried:
- adding custom parameter in app link "restartApp=true"

- Refreshing the data source via onStart, onVisible of the deep linked screen & startScreen

Issue - value in flow, email and data source is correct but not in canvas app via deeplink.

Cause: Deep link opens the app before the latest data loads, so values appear inconsistent

suggested Fix:

keep passing the item ID in the link: ...&ItemID=<ID>&RestartApp=true

In OnStart or deep-linked screen OnVisible, refresh and load the record after refresh completes:
If(
!IsBlank(Param("ItemID")),
Refresh(YourDataSource);
Set(varRecord, LookUp(YourDataSource, ID = Value(Param("ItemID"))))
)

Navigate only after varRecord is set.
Key: Always ensure refresh completes before reading the record; this fixes deep-link mismatches.
