SharePoint PowerApps custom form has a GHOST - shows twice !!

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 14

Hello,

 

  I built a SharePoint custom form in PowerApps to maintain data in a SharePoint list.   The form has being working well until recently when I made a modification to a combobox in the form and had to published the new version of the form.  When I open an existing list item or create a new item now,  the PowerApps custom form shows twice on the screen; once on the left most of the screen and once at the right most of the screen.   (See picture).  The left-most is a ghost form as you cannot interact with it and clicking anywhere on the left most form simply closes both forms.  The true form is in the right-most of the screen and can be interacted with.  How do I get rid of the ghost one?  

 

Any ideas why it would be doing this and/or how to fix it?  I have tried re-publishing the PowerApps form with no avail.   Changed the form settings in SharePoint to "Use the default SharePoint form" and back again to "Use a custom form created in PowerApps" but it did not fix the problem.  Please help.

    Hi @Rico36 ,

    It is a bug and seems to happen when your custom form is wide. I have it on a couple of mine and it does not really affect anything as you cannot click in the ghost area anyway even if it is displaying the left area of the list  and it disappears when you close the form.

     

    Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

    Thanks Warren. As you said,  probably a bug.  I however were able to get rid of the ghost by clearing and later restoring a column format on one of the list columns.  No reason to do this but it fixed the problem.
