Hey everyone,

I'm currently struggling with the following: I have a Canvas App with a form "Form1" and I want to rearrange the DataCards like in my picture below:

I can make two columns, but when I make DataCard1 higher than DataCard2 also gets the same height. When I make DataCard2 smaller, I couldn't move DataCard3 under DataCard2 and it seems like DataCard2 stays the same height as DataCard1.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Marvin

From testing I've done there is no way to achieve the layout you want using a Form and data cards. Even turning off Snap to Grid and columns the data cards will adopt the height of the card next to them. You could build a screen with the layout you want. It will require more work to place and arrange all the fields and you will need to use Patch() to submit the changes. But I think that's the only way you can achieve the layout you want.

Hi @MarvinBangert

I agree with @Pstork1 . Currently, the Form control is not supported to customize the layout as you want.
As an alternative workaround, I recommend customizing layout by three edit forms. They are all from the same data source but with the respective data cards.
When you submit the Forms, Try to use the code:

If(Form1.Mode=FormMode.New,Patch('Data Source',Defaults('Data Source'),Form1.Updates,Form2.Updates,Form3.Updates),Form1.Mode=FormMode.Edit,Patch('Data Source',<Put Forms' Items property here>,Form1.Updates,Form2.Updates,Form3.Updates)) //repalce <> part by the Items property code of Forms

Hope this helps.
