I'm a total newbie to PowerApps, until 3 days ago I'd never even heard of them but I've now stumbled into creating one and hit a snag. Apologies if I'm not using the right terminology here, still trying to find my feet, but I've got an app for a custom form I've created. One of the fields in the form is Due Date.
My powerapp is laid out in 3 columns and I have snap to columns enabled (I've tried disabling this but it makes no difference)
If I add the datacard for this field to my app I can place it next to an existing datacard in the same row. However lets say I then add it to a new row. When I do this, I can't add any other datacards to that row, everything has to be on a new row below or above. If I drag any other field I get the crossed red circle symbol. I can't see anything different in the properties of this datacard to any other so can't work out what I'm doing wrong. As I say I've tried turning snap off but that makes no difference.
In a similar vein can you also do any of the following because I can't find a way of doing it?
1. Leave one column empty in a row. So lets say you have 6 fields in a 3 column layout. Row 1 you want datacards 1-3 but on Row 2 you want datacards 4,5 but you want to leave the middle position empty. Row 3 you want datacards 6,7 but you want the first position to be empty. I've kinda created this effect by simply making the datacard width so wide that it prevents another one being added to the row but it looks and feels 'clunky'.
2. Add different backgrounds behind certain datacards. I have a series of fields that are date related. I'd like to display them together with a different background to other fields. I know you can add a background to the form screen but that's the entire screen. I just didn't think you could add other non form elements within the form area.
3. Position forms wherever you want. For example have 4 fields on one row, one on another, 2 on another etc etc
