Collaborative work in powerapps - syntax problem

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Greetings colleagues, I need support with the following.

We are working collaboratively with my team on PowerApps, but we have had the problem that the syntax breaks, I can be working normally with English syntax, using ";" to separate statements in formulas, and using "," to separate arguments, for example for a color RGBA(255, 255, 0, 1)

The problem is that when another colleague enters the PowerApps Studio to work, those "," are changed to ";" and when I return everything shows a syntax error. Everything breaks, controls look black, others are not even shown and a thousand syntax errors appear.
 
I had already worked on PowerApps before, but by myself. And even if you changed your PC to another language, the syntax was automatically translated to the language you are using. Either using "," or ";" So it didn't affect me at all, nothing broke. Today in collaborative work if that happens.

How can I avoid this problem? Maybe set a language so that regardless of the user's language/region it will always be the same to read the syntax?? Upon investigation, there should be an option called "Use English-language formula syntax" but I have looked for it in all the menus and it does not exist.

Thank you very much in advance for your support.

    Yes - that is a known issue on collaboration and other than changing everyone's language to English, there is not much else of a solution. However if you disable collaberation and simply go inone at a time, the system should take care of the syntax swapping depending on who loads the session.
