Facing this weird glitch when I am trying to add a SharePoint list data source to my application. It is showing 3 same accounts as seen in the photo below. If I select any connection it will add the SharePoint list as data source but it will append "_1" to the end of the data source name for e.g. "SharePointListName_1". PowerApps Intellisense detects "SharePointListName" data source name but it is not usable and will throw an error meaning duplicate data source is being added to the application. Only "SharePointListName_1" name can be referenced in the formula.
Is there anyway to remove these duplicate connection names so data source names are consistent and properly named? Triggers my OCD a bit haha 😅
@RandyHayes @WarrenBelz any suggestions? Is this because of some configuration issue that I need to ask my IT dept.?
@Gauzdx ,
It should only add _1 if the list is already connected to the App - the multiple connections should not affect this and you need to be careful deleting them from the environment as they are probably being used elsewhere.
Verify in Collections if you have already a Collection with the same name of the SharePoint List
Also, try to use Solutions to use connection reference in your App.
