I am building a solution that for privacy reasons we do not want to have information saved from. Currently edge and other browsers may auto save names and form numbers entered into the model driven app.

Usually you can set a property of a field in a website to turn this off. Is there any way to do this for a model driven app field?

Did you try 'Disable most recently used items' for the dropdown field ?

Re: turn off autocomplete saving from form fields in model driven app

I definitely get where you are coming from and am aware of this option. However, If I was building an website with a form I can set the properties of individualfields to turn off autofill/autocomplete. This means even with those browser settings on, with these specific fields, this functionality will be ignored. I am trying to determine if there is an equivalent feature for power apps. It would a lot cleaner than having users adjust browser settings that might be helpful in other scenarios.

@dextoar

Not a powerapps related question its more browser related.
https://www.beaufortcountysc.gov/apps/disable-autofill.html
Turn off Autofill in Chrome
On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More (indicated by 3 vertical dots) → Settings.
Click on 'Addresses'
Turn off Autofill forms.

Turn off Autofill in Microsoft Edge
Open Microsoft Edge.
Select the More actions button (indicated by 3 horizontal dots) .
Select Settings → Profiles.
Select Addresses and more, and move the "button" to the left, which will disable saved addresses.

I appreciate the support but I am not looking to adjust autosave for my application.

I am wanting to turn off the ability for a web browser to save what I am typing into fields so that information pops up in the form autofill on other sites and apps.
