Hi @ShalabhGupta ,
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:
