Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello Community,

I have three SharePoint sites for Development (DEV), UAT and Production.

Whenever I move the PowerApps from Dev environment to UAT or UAT to PROD, I always have to manually go into the "Data" within the Canvus App then remove all the data connections that are connected to the lists in the DEV SharePoint sites then re-connect the data to lists in the UAT SharePoint Site (in the case where it's moving from DEV to UAT).

Can the Data connections be set as environment variables?

Any tips is appreciated. Thank you.

I agree. This is very painful.

On 15th September, new changes were announced on the new solution import experience with connectors and environment variables. Please check the below link and at the end it also has documentation:

I hope this will be helpful.

Also, check for CI/CD approach for solution development and deployment. I did not try but heard a lot about it.
