Changing Data source in POWERAPPs

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

We have a complex PowerApp with many screens and using SharePoint list at the backend. Due to limitation of SharePoint list we are trying to switch to  a Database connection.

But the problem is I will have to replace the name from many controls' onselect  , onchange , onvisible properties. This is a tedious process and can result in many errors.

Is there a way where I can do search and replace all in the source code of POWERAPP.

 

Thanks in advance.

    There is now a tool available on GitHub that you can use to view/edit the source code from a Power App.
