Published App PDF Conversion Expand Containers not working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Touchez7 28

I have a form in PowerApps and I use a Power Automated Flow to convert the form into a PDF and store it to a SharePoint site. During my development and testing of the app it works; however, when I publish the app the ExpandContainers function breaks and I am only getting the first half of the form. 

 

When I go back to retest the app it works perfectly again during my edit/development session. It is only not working when the app is published. How do I fix this?

    Props to @angee for this fix, maybe it will work in your case: I Inserted a Container named "ContainerPDF" on the screen, then cut and pasted my edit form and buttons into the container, changed the formula in onselect to include PDF(ContainerPDF, {ExpandContainers: true}) and it works in the Powerapp and not just the editor!
