Hi All, I have a Power App/Form that is used to record the teams daily workload and upon submitting the form, its saved to a SharePoint list. The Power App is accessed via Teams and works great if the user doesnt move away from the App/Form to another teams window, but if they move to another teams window and then back to the Power App/Form, the form is reset and the data gone.

If there a way, so that when the user moves from one Form field to another, the previous form field is stored somewhere or saved to the sharepoint list, so its not lost if the user switches window focus?

Thanks in advance

@StuartSmith
I would love to see this as a new feature in PowerApps. If you make an Idea I'll vote for it.

Re: Save Form Data before submitting

It is always good to search for an existing idea before posting a new one, more votes ones are given priority.

This is exactly what you asked, and I want that too:

Other related functionality is the availability of SaveData() and LoadData() inside Teams:
