Hi
I have a form and when I'm inserting a new record when I click into text boxes previously entered values are shown. The values displayed are not even just values that were input for this field e.g. the Call Off Number field is showing dates that were entered into other fields. This behaviour doesn't happen on all text boxes. Has anybody come across this?
This is indeed very disturbing. In most cases it's only an annoyance to have auto complete enabled.
Ideally "Browser Auto Complete" should be an advanced option which is set to default state "false".
Hello @v-mengmli-msft ,
I can't help myself but wonder what do you mean it is a browser issue not a Power Apps issue.
Setting autocomplete to off for the entire browser eliminates even useful autocomplete for users such as their addresses, and as @brown_1892 correctly pointed out, we just cannot ask users to turn this off just because Power Apps team developing modern controls omitted this basic attribute (although the control is still in preview).
To further support that this is most definitely Power Apps issue, please see this MDN Web Docs describing that autocomplete can be set on individual input level or form level. By extension, I believe this definitely points towards a choice while developing modern control text input to leave out this attribute.

I just wanted to add this since in our experience is that this is hell of an annoying feature currently since it seems to be collecting all previously entered texts completely unrelated to the currently selected input.

Hi @brown_1892 ,
This is more of a browser issue than a PowerApps issue, and there is currently no way to set up autofill for a user's browser through PowerApps.
This may require the user to turn off autofill in the browser, but I don't think this is necessary, and some users may prefer to use their own browser settings.
Thanks for reading!

Hi Rimmon, thanks for your response.
Yes i'm using the modern controls but unfortunately setting the Value to "" doesn't work and after more testing the other fields that I thought were ok do intermittently show the same issue. I think the issue is with autofill in the browser (see screenshots from Edge and Chrome below that have different autofill values). I suspect turning autofill off will fix the issue but I can't ask everybody who is going to be using the App to turn that off. Are you aware of settings in Powerapps that need changing or any other idea?

Hi @brown_1892 ,
Are you using text input modern control?
If you don't want it to auto-populate value: the initial value is empty.
Try setting its value property to null.
Another possibility is that you have other settings on this control that are causing this problem, is it the same settings as other controls that are running fine?
Best regards,
Rimmon
