Is it possible to duplicate a MainScreen but with different datasource

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 121

I have multiple SharePoint lists and I want to create each screen the same look and feel. I was able to create one screen with all of the correct data, but I don't know how to duplicate that using a different Sharepoint list data. Is this possible or is there a workaround?

    Hi @Sonyat810 

     

    It is possible to create multiple screens in PowerApps with the same look and feel using different SharePoint lists as data sources. 

     

    Duplicate the template screen: Right-click on the template screen in the left navigation pane and select "Duplicate Screen." This will create a copy of the template screen.

     

    Rename the duplicated screen: Right-click on the duplicated screen and select "Rename." Give it a meaningful name that corresponds to the SharePoint list it will be associated with.

     

    Update the data source: In the duplicated screen, update the data source to point to the desired SharePoint list. 

     

    Repeat steps 2-4 for each SharePoint list: Duplicate the screen again and rename it for each SharePoint list you want to use. Update the data source for each duplicated screen to correspond to the respective SharePoint list.

     

    Thanks!

    I don't see where it will allow me to change the datasource. It's greyed out

    In left side properties plan, you can add different datasource.

    In the duplicate screen, when you interact with controls such as dropdowns, galleries, forms, etc., you must update their item properties to reference a different SharePoint list.

     

    Thanks!
