SharePoint Custom Forms with PowerApps

Hi Shane, I am facing a challenge. I have customer a form in power app and saved & Published but still can not see the customized form in SharePoint list. I have done the basic troubleshooting like refreshing data source in power app, republished, refreshed SharePoint list multiple times, tried different browser but still no luck. Any tip please?

Hi Shane, thank you so much for the video. Is there any way we can make forms responsive like apps?

Shane, you are genial! thank you for sharing!

Hi Shane, thanks for the video! Hoping you can help with an issue I'm having between my SharePoint List and the Power Apps Form. I'm selecting a record from a SharePoint List using a dropdown, but the value of the record is only shown on the form, and is blank on the Sharepoint list. Any idea why this might be happening?

Thank you! Appreciate the additional explanations of the code functionalities ❤

Many thanks! Is there a way to check for changes, and in the "OnCancel" event, let the user know, and decide to remain there instead of cancelling? This is the normal behavior for Word, Excel documents, for example - close or cancel it, and you are prompted that changes will be lost. Any recommendations? 🤷‍♂

Hello Shane, can I create a PowerApp Form with minimal fields but then still have the option to edit ALL columns when I hit edit in SharePoint List?

Hi Shane, do you have any videos on customizing SharePoint forms where you use variables in calculations to determine other values?

How do you use the patch formula that allows a button to update the status of the item when selected? it seems to be much more difficult with a sharepoint integration form

thank you! just wonderful.

I didn't know you can't export/import form customization. Useful info!

Great video, Shane. I am populating a collection using the List Item ID. Where do I put my code so it runs every time the user clicks on an item and opens this form? If I use OnVisible for the screen, it only fires the FIRST time. If a user then clicks on a different item, it doesn't fire.

Hello what happens when the person that customises the form leaves the org please ?

Am I missing something, or does Power App Custom Form for SP not allow multi-select fields?

How do you add text boxes that include hyperlinks on the text?

Hi, I want to learn from you personally. Please let me know what is the procedure ?

Hi Shane, thank you for this helpful video. I ran into a problem- I was able to create a custom form in power apps. When a new item is added to my sharepoint list, I can see it populated in the All Items view. However when I select it, the form window opens up but all the fields are blank. Is there a setting I am missing? Thanks!

It is completely insane to me I can't scroll down on a custom power apps form. You can say 14 fields is too many for a global enterprise using a list, but I'm sorry that's completely insane. Some lists are large. Some forms are long. Why does the form not scroll down past the first 790 px out of the box? I built the form and it scrolls in the preview, but I get the thing published to SharePoint Online and my users can't see half the fields. I've been done with this simple form for four hours, but I'm still working on this just to get the fields to display. THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. I'm trying to add it to a vertical container. I'm trying to create a scrollable screen and add it to that, but it doesn't work. Why should I have to create an app for absolutely every single list when a simple custom form should work? Just nuts. Sorry for venting, but I'm searching for an answer and this isn't it.
I did see this reported in 2019 or 2020 and someone said they can tab down to the hidden fields. That actually does work, but it's 2022 and I still have to tell users to tab down because the scroll bar doesn't work? What garbage.

Hi Shane, Great Video! What do you do if you make changes to the sharepoint list column? For example changing from a text column to a choice column? Power Apps does not appear to refresh with the changes. Thank you

Hi, I having troubles, when I click on customize form, power apps creates a form but only title column is shown, the rest of columns/fields are not added, do you know why?

When I save my custom form following these instructions and go back to my library and select an item - I still have to select "Edit All" in order to see the custom form; otherwise it's the classic properties view. How do I get the custom form to be the default properties view when an item is selected in the library?

Shane, where does the Custom form stores, which environment, i can see that from this video it stores in Default environment, will the form gets deleted automatically or will it store in forever, can you please reply

Hi Shane, Great Video! Only have a question, if you company only would access to PowerApps through Customize Forms (instructions of company DLP), will you recommend create heavy forms or use infopath?
I want to kill Infopath 😅

Thanks Shane. Great idea to include the 'what not to do' aspect.
Two questions -
1) Licensing - does each user who uses the power app integrated form need a power apps licence? If not, what is required?
2) When you had the email button, it asked you to allow permissions and then sent the email from your email account. Will each logged in user be sending emails from themselves, or is it from you as the author of the app?

What OS are you using?

What a ridiculous hot mess MS have done here with SharePoint. Firstly they should have included basic functionality in SharePoint list creation for filtered dropdowns & combo boxes so you don't have to use power apps at all. If you can't save the SharePoint power apps form then it's not fit for prime time. Who in their right mind is going to wrestle with power apps on the basis that they can't save the form for further reuse in future projects / sites. They had a low code solution with SharePoint Lists but instead of adding the missing pieces of the jigsaw such as the filtered dropdowns they've plugged the gap with a very poor implementation of power apps. I suppose the way to go is to make a power apps app rather than trying to extend the SharePoint form but does that mean you get into another hot mess namely the phenomenally expensive power apps licensing model? I hear you can also create a power apps app via teams to get some free dataverse storage but can you then also access one of those apps from SharePoint?

Shane I think what is going on with that display issue is some kind of browser caching or something. If you come back in two hours it will probably look better. I’ve noticed weird things after changing the size.

Another question though.. I would really like to be able to dynamically use the whole screen height depending on zoom level. Best solution I have come up with is to make the form height high and let it roll off the screen and I get a vertical scroll bar. But two problems
1) my permissions show in the middle of the form which can be off screen
2) when the vertical scroll bar shows up it also adds a horizontal scroll bar because the vertical scroll bar takes up some of the width. Any suggestions?

I would use a custom app, but the share point built in filtering is better at handling large data sets.

Perfect !!! Many thanks. The last but not least, i work into 2 environment.( Global & Specific ; i work for a very large society & i have to save my apps in the Specific one). When i do this, my forms-sharepoint "app" is by default in the Global environment ... so , i have to download the file as .zip but i can't upload it in the Specific environment. I get an error.
Is there a way to reverse this , meaning FROM a FORM i create (related to the list ) TO "SharepointIntegration functionality."
If anyone has a tip , i'll will be very happy.
Greetings !

THANK YOU!!!!!!! The "resize" part of this video straight to the end is everything I have been struggling with in the Power app world. This is a great tool and I love the customization optionality... BUT! yes, don't do too much. Thanks for this, its a great help.

This video is exactly what I needed, particularly learning how to edit the different modes...new, edit, submit, etc.
Do you have a video that reviews the different formulas that can be used in Power Apps or recommend a website? Thanks for the info.

But I miss InfoPath! :-)

What happens if you have a large set of data and break the data up into three different forms in the customize forms. How to you link to each of those forms in power automate?

Hey Shane, amazing video. One question from my form if i select a value in the dropdown, how do i make it fill the related info in the form.

Great video, I came across the same issue when I open the resized form it was opening at the smaller window, I did find a fix.
go in the List settings>Advanced Settings>"Launch forms in a dialog?" was set to launch in a dialog set to no and that fixed it.

Can you please do a video on creating a whole shop purchase order from different vendors and generate a pdf of that . I know that you created a pdf med automate in previous video but I still do not get how to formulate the html, thanks a lot for great effort that you do .

I wish you would have shown how to get rid of the tiny, tiny form when it displays in SharePoint. It's so annoying and I haven't found any way to get past it other than wait a few days and try again. Sometimes I'm unable to wait a week for it to correct itself. Very little online about it. Thanks for the video.

Hello, Shane If you made this app developer environment and want to publish it on to other environment, what do we do. How do we share it Thank you

Amazing video btw... great teacher! For some strange reason I'm not able to figure out this issue I'm having. I linked up SharePoint to PowerApps of course and did not change many things but the layout and couple other minor things. When a user on the website of SharePoint tries to choose a value from the dropdown provided in the list. When saving after editing the list it defaults to a specific value for some strange reason. so for example if a user on the SharePoint website clicks new and edit all and from the drop down menu chose option C (Example). When the user saves its response then in SharePoint it reverts to Choice A for some strange reason despite inputting option c. I had to revert it back to its original form in SharePoint through list settings>form settings? original... because lot of users were complaining. I also don't know how to test implementations made on SharePoint website without " submitting the form". Can I please get some help in fixing these.

Great video Shane! I have a question, when i create a custom form with powerapps, i assume SP will save it in the the organization default environment right?

If you generate a power app form from sp can you change it from the default env? Ms is recommending we dint use the default env for other power app dev so I want to be consistent.

Just what I was looking for. Thank you! Question...When using the Power App custom form and editing an existing record. When I press save, the SharePoint page doesn't show an updated record until the page is refreshed. Is there a way to refresh the page when saving? When using the default SharePoint from it updates without a refresh. Thanks again.

Ha ha, just last week I finalized your nightmare scenario of a custom form that has two forms, one of which is visible only to admins listed in a separate SP list, and buttons that submit and send emails, blah, blah. I could not create a standalone app because my SharePoint doc library uses four content types associated specific PPT templates for each content type visible in the New button. From what I could tell, PowerApps does not support creating a new library item based on content type templates. If If I'm wrong, please do a video!!

Thanks for good video, Is it possible to upload attachment using custom SP form for users with permission - "create new item" ("update item" permission disabled)

This is great! Thank you for sharing.

One thing I did to replicate a form is to save the SharePoint list as a template. Then copy the Form control (CTRL + C) from the original, delete the form that you are trying to customize from the template and then Pasted it (CTRL + V).
So long as the columns are named the same, Power Apps can recognize them. You may have to check the formulas if you are referencing other stuff but it’s posible.

Shane this video is my bread and butter for the current work I do at my company. Tons of custom SP forms powered by PowerApps. I found you while trying to figure out how to deal with signatures on in SP lists and you made me a base64 expert. Keep it up!!!

How to add a image control to app when customizing or creating from blank app with SP list. when I use image and title layout , I can't connect image source. And, when customized from list image field does not exist
