SharePoint Integration custom form caching issue

I have a SharePoint list with over 70 columns and two roles defined on the site: Submitter and Approver. To simplify, I split the columns into two separate forms displayed on different screens based on roles. In the SharePoint integration’s onEdit property, I’ve implemented logic to determine which form should be in edit mode based on the status field, and it navigates to the corresponding screen.
However, I’m encountering a caching issue. On the first edit attempt, the function in the onEdit property does not execute as expected and redirects to the last opened screen instead but form data is appropriate. On the second edit attempt of the same item, the code runs correctly, and it navigates to the proper screen.
Is there any resolution for this issue?
OnEdit of sharepoint integration implemented formula:

If(SharePointIntegration.Selected.Stage.Value="First",EditForm(FormFirst);Navigate(screenFirstForm),EditForm(FormSecond);Navigate(screenSecondForm)

Hi CU19120545-0,

The behavior you're encountering in Power Apps is likely due to caching or timing issues in the SharePointIntegration context when determining which screen to navigate to during the first edit attempt.

Force a Refresh on the SharePointIntegration Context

Refresh('YourSharePointList'); // Replace with your actual list name
If(
SharePointIntegration.Selected.Stage.Value = "First",
EditForm(FormFirst);
Navigate(screenFirstForm),
EditForm(FormSecond);
Navigate(screenSecondForm)
)

Use a Timer for Delayed Execution

Modify the OnEdit formula to start the timer - Set(NavigateToForm, SharePointIntegration.Selected.Stage.Value);
Timer1.Start();

OnTimerEnd property, add the navigation logic - If(
NavigateToForm = "First",
EditForm(FormFirst);
Navigate(screenFirstForm),
EditForm(FormSecond);
Navigate(screenSecondForm)
);

In the OnStart property of the app, Set(Preload, false);
Navigate(screenFirstForm);
Navigate(screenSecondForm);
Navigate(DefaultScreen); // Replace with your default screen

Pls try and let me know if you have issues.
