Hi - is it possible to add CSS to a model driven app form? Anyone have any ideas how to do that? Just looking to do simple stuff like filling in section headers, etc.

Thanks for the help!

Appearance and effects are PowerApps' unfinished business. There are very curious things searching in the net playing with the TIMER function. Here you have an example of how with imagination you can solve certain deficiencies.

@DianaBirkelbach @Ismael_Novo - thanks for the replies! I had a feeling that was the case in the research that I had found on my own. The PCF is probably more work than what its worth at this point. Do you know if there are plans to allow more styling on the model driven forms in the future? Thanks again for the help

Re: Model Driven - CSS

Hi @cwwhite1 ,

It's not supported the inject CSS inside a model-driven form.

You can add HTMLWebResources or PCFs inside a Form. This way you change the UI for components, but not the whole form.

If you need to change the style section headers, you could try to use a CustomPage instead of a form. But then you would need to design the whole form; that will be a lot of work.

Maybe another option would be to make a PCF which you could place on each section, showing the corresponding color...

Hope it helps!

Hi Cwwhite1.
It will all depend on how deep you want the changes. This video helped me a lot at the time.
