Hello everyone,
I've read on forum and around that there should be an OnStart() property or such, but I don't seem to have it in my environment?
If anybody knows anything helpful, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance.

The official position on experimental features is not to use them in production apps.
Hello, I would avoid the deprecated features, as I don't have some solid replacement for it
hi @Drrickryp , this Named Formula is in experimental phase, I'm not so sure about it - should I use it for "production" apps? In case something goes wrong, it might be a bad idea later? what is your opinion about it?
great! thank you
Do a search for PowerApps Named Formula. I think it is exactly what you need. You can activate it in the Settings under experimental features.
thank you, @Drrickryp !
Do you maybe have knowledge on how to find possibility in PowerApps to create a variable with named object data on that same StartScreen... ?
like var names = { management = {"Nikola": "nikola.nikola@mail.com"}, secondNamedObjectWithinObjectData = {Second : "Two"} }
or similar data structure and how to access the data within? with which functions?
Right now I'm using the Lists for all data and this could be much faster for low-record-level and static data.

It has been deprecated in favor of Startscreen. See the discussion here. https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/How-do-I-properly-use-StartScreen/td-p/1360827#:~:text=1%20App.OnStart%20to%20collect%20the%20data%20%28Collect%2C%20Lookup%2C,or%20collections%20from%20App.OnStart%20since%20both%20are%20independent For now, you can reactivate it in the settings but it will be going away.
There is a great new option also in settings called Named Formulas to replace using the Set() function in OnStart.
