    Hey man, I added the three columns into the list (Name, Food and Guests) like you did but however whenever I import the form in power apps and connected the data via sharepoint, it doesn't give food a drop down menu. Can you explain to me please how you did that? Thanks.
    Edit : I realised I just needed to edit it and under type it needs to be changed to choice, my bad.

      Hi Michelle, seems like you got it? There are 2 ways,
      1 You can change it to choice field in SharePoint.
      2. You can replace the text field in Power Apps with a dropdown and change the update property of the card to write the new dropdown instead.

    Helped a lot, especially the part where you changed the default mode to new, because that is exactly where I was stuck and could not understand why. When you write the formula for the button (Submitform...) what if I have two lists? One is the database where I would like the info to be saved after hitting submit and another list where the data comes from to create the form. How do I have the info saved to the database and not to the other list. Thank you. Because in your video you created one list.

    Thanks for this. I am getting back into software after a 6 year hiatus and trying to determine if PowerApps would be good for a client. I was following along fine until you lost me in SharePoint. For a beginner video, it left out some of the steps for creating the list. I am not sure why, when the datasource at 8:58 is connected to the form you get a drop down for the food. Also, not sure when the Food types were added. I must be missing something. Is there another list of Food populating the Food drop down? How did the app know to show a drop down? Is there a missed segment after 8:25 on making the drop down? Otherwise, it all worked. Thanks.

      Hi Gary, This was added on the SharePoint side, in the list not in Power Apps. The Food column was created as a choice field and the choices were set in SharePoint. I may have skipped over that part. Here is an example from a random blog I found: blog.enterprisedna.co/adding-sharepoint-choice-field-in-a-list/

    • @andrewhess123

      Once you create it as a choice field, then you will need to refresh your datasource in Power Apps for it to get the new update.

    I have just started PowerApps and this is a great video to start of with. Can you guide me to any of your videos wherein the Users can edit their submitted responses and the database be it SharePoint List or Dataverse would also capture the name and email address of the User along with his Manager? That would help. Many thanks.

    • @andrewhess123

      Hi Shubhabrata, there are a few different ways to do this, I'm not sure I have the exact video you are looking for... but this is something I should create. But what you would do is default your user field to User().Email, and to grab manager you may have to pull in another connector. But I will write this down, thank you for the idea.

    Hi Andrew, your videos have been very helpful for me to learn create an app. I am trying to create an input form for purchase order and save the data to SharePoint. I um unable to share a screenshot but basically the master details for a PO would have PO number, vendor name, approver, etc. The details part is where I add new lines via a button for Qty, unit price, Amount and would like to save each line to SharePoint in a separate row and copy same master data for each row. Would you be able to make a video to show how to do this? Thanks!

    Hi Andrew, If I don't use form and I am creating input directly in screen for more control and then if I want to refresh all the field when I click submit then what should I use script in fx

      Hi vivek I have a few videos where we go over this, but if you want more of a custom form you will use patch. You need to set up all your default or defaultselecteditems properties for every field. There are other tricks like using a variable in your Reset field to trigger Reset action in all you fields. You have a few options on how to do this and it also there are some differences between Modern and Classic. Here is a newer video where I set up a custom modern form: ua-cam.com/video/EVAwMmc9qos/v-deo.html

    Great video. Clear and straight forward instructions. Is there anyway you can use the app for people outside your organization?

    • @andrewhess123
      @andrewhess123  11 місяців тому +1

      So, #1 people outside the organization can use your app, if they have a license somewhere else. If they have M365 and a license in their own tenant, then they can use Power Apps.
      Another option is Power Pages for full customization based on a consumption model.
      Finally the simplest way is to use MS Forms. MS Forms is public facing.
