Posted on by markbillinge

I created a data source in an app with the sharepoint connector and named it powerappsimages . Later I come back to the App , and I cannot figure out what URL I was using for the data source . How can I find out which SP list my App is populating ?

You should be able to find the SharePoint datasource used by your app by checking the data properties:
1. Click on "View" and then "Data Sources" menu options.
2. In the pop-up data panel, find the "powerappsimages" data source that you previously used to create your app. Click on the "..." menu and select the "Edit data" option.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure why you don't see "Edit data". Could be a permission issue. Is your app pulling data from that list? Can you see if the following works?:
1. Temporarily add a "ListBox" control. Make sure it's added to the screen and not to a gallery or form.
2. Go to "Advanced" properties panel for ListBox1 and paste the following into the "Items" field: powerappsimages.'{Link}' (or [NameOfYourDataset].'{Link}')
3. You may need to adjust the font size in order to see the link.

Yes, thanks, I see the idea . UNfortunately nothing is displayed at run time . In the meantime I actually found the list in SP that I am populating so it's OK , but it is not the first time I have tried to find details about my data sources .
