UI Layering bug in modern model‑driven form editor

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3
Hi all,

I’m running into what looks like a UI layering issue in the modern Dataverse form editor, where parts of the interface become unclickable because something invisible seems to be sitting on top of them.
 
I’m seeing this in two ways:
1) When I open a form to edit, a “Sign in” prompt appears inside the editor, but the Sign in button can’t be clicked. It’s visible, but it’s clearly not the top interactive layer. I’ve seen other posts mention this, and I know there are some workarounds.
2) The form’s tab list shows up, but I can’t actually switch tabs. Clicking a tab does nothing, as if the clickable area is underneath another layer. I haven’t seen this particular issue mentioned anywhere else.
 
I’m grouping these together because they feel like symptoms of the same underlying problem.
 
Both issues happen across multiple browsers (Edge, Chrome), and even in incognito/private mode. The only thing that consistently works right now is switching back to the classic form editor.
 
Is anyone else experiencing this? And if Microsoft can confirm whether this is a known issue, that would be really helpful.
 
Many Thanks!

    What you are describing — unclickable Sign In button and non-functional tab switching is a could becknown rendering issue in the modern Dataverse form editor tied to z-index/iframe layering in Chromium-based browsers. Here is what to try:

     

    1. CLEAR BROWSER CACHE AND COOKIES

    Even in incognito mode, some browser extensions or cached service workers can interfere. Try a full cache clear in Edge/Chrome, then reload the maker portal.

     

    2. DISABLE BROWSER EXTENSIONS

    Ad blockers, password managers (like LastPass or 1Password), and privacy extensions are known to overlay invisible elements that block clicks. Try in a browser profile with zero extensions.

     

    3. CHECK FOR TENANT CONDITIONAL ACCESS AFFECTING THE SIGN-IN PROMPT

    The Sign In prompt inside the form editor usually appears when the editor iframe loses its authenticated session (often triggered by Conditional Access policies that scope session tokens to the main browser context but not iframes). Your admin can check if there are CA policies applying continuous access evaluation to maker portal iframes.

     

    4. SWITCH ENVIRONMENTS

    Sometimes the issue is environment-specific (solution layers or form metadata). Try opening the same form in a different environment to confirm whether it is environment-wide or browser-specific.

     

    5. USE CLASSIC EDITOR AS TEMPORARY WORKAROUND

    You have already found this — keep using classic editor for now while you raise a support ticket.

     

    6. RAISE A MICROSOFT SUPPORT TICKET

    Since this reproduces across Edge and Chrome in incognito mode, it is likely a product bug. File a support ticket via the Power Platform Admin Center with a browser HAR file captured during the failure — this gives Microsoft the iframe request trace they need to diagnose it.

    Thank you Vish, your reply was very helpful.
     
    For reference, I had already tried 1, 2, 4 and 5.
     
    As you recommended, I will:
    a) Ask our global admin to check my access and report back here if it resolves the Sign-in issue
    b) Raise a support ticket
