Hi All,
I am wondering if there is a way to show/hide a section on a model driven form using a collapsible button something like the one shown here:
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @ShalabhGupta ,
Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?
Do you want to show/hide a section inside a tab on your Model-Driven form using a collapsible button?
If you want to show/hide a section inside a tab on your Model-Driven form using a collapsible button, I afraid that there is no direct way to achieve your needs in Power Apps currently.
As an possible solution, I think custom JavaScript code regarding the Client API Reference could achieve your needs. You could consider add a custom ribbon into your Model-Driven form. Bind the custom ribbon to a specific JavaScript web source, then hide/show the section through the JavaScript code.Regarding the needs that you mentioned, I think the setVisible method under the formContext.ui.sections Client API could achieve your needs. Please check the following article for more details:

For adding a custom Ribbon button in your Entity form, I think the Ribbon Workbench Tool could achieve your needs:

Hi @v-xida-msft
Thank you for this detailed reply. However, the button I am looking forward to is on the section instead of a ribbon. Looks like my ask is currently not feasible within the realms of dynamics using supported customizations.
Yeah, you are right. If you want to add a custom button next to the Section within your Model Driven form, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Power Apps currently.
If you would like this feature to be added in Power Apps, please submit an idea to Power Apps Ideas Forum:

It may be more effort than it is worth:
It works but it is clunky
