After some research, we got a solution to resolve this issue. The following steps that we took to resolve that issue are discussed below.

Approach 1: Rename the Title field in Data Source

Initially, we renamed the SharePoint list’s Title column as Full Name and connect that list to the above Power Apps tabbed form.
As per the solution, we again renamed the column names from Full Name to Title within the SharePoint list. Then refresh the data source within the Power Apps.
Once refreshed, the data card (field) name is modified to Title.

Now, when we insert any data it will save that data from the Power Apps tabbed form to the SharePoint list without displaying any error notification.

Approach 2: Remove the Title field from the app (edit form)

Aside from renaming the field, we came up with another solution: remove the Title field from the Power Apps canvas app or edit form.

As per the expertise solution, they recommend removing the title field from the Power Apps edit form and adding it again to the form.

In accordance with the recommendation, we removed that data card (Title) from the app and added that field back in. Then we set the field properties as per the Power Apps tabbed form requirement (it’s optional).

It’s work like a miracle! Now we are able to save the data to the SharePoint list from the Power Apps tabbed form.
