Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have an app that is deployed into 3 different environments, each environment is for a different department & each one has its own SharePoint list for storing employee information.

I want to be able to have 1 form in the app that will connect to the appropriate list for the environment, which I have done with environment variables. However, not all environments need exactly the same columns so I was wondering if there was a cleaner way to achieve this without having to make all 3 lists identical & show/hide the unnecessary fields from the form & list as appropriate for the environment

Hi @GaryLowe1892 Environment variable with data source as SP is usually used when the schema (columns and its data type) of list is same across the environment.

As per my understanding, 3 lists identical & show/hide the unnecessary fields from the form is easier option with single form.

Otherwise use 3 different form and show and hide the form itself as per the department.
