DataCard location is frustrating

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 249

I am becoming frustrated with PowerApps auto placement of datacards. I have create a form with columns set to 4. I have some data cards that need to be wider than others. This results in the first line with 4 datacards, second line with 3 datacards (1 is wider than the others), third line with 3 datacards (1 is the default size with the other 2 being wider), fouth line with 4 datacards, fifth line with 2 datacards. 

This was working fine until I had to add 2 more datacards. Now the fourth line has 1 datacard (size is default for 4 datacard column), then the fifth line goes back to 4 datacards. I have tried dragging data cards from the fifth line back to the fourth line with no success. I have tried modifying the width of the datacards, but they still do not allow me to move to the fourth line. So FRUSTRATING!!!! I have attached a picture, if anyone has an idea of how to change this without deleting all the datacards from the fourth line on, then re-adding.

    Hi @techtudoor ,

    I have done a blog on this (I call it the Rogue Shuffle). If you follow this process, you may get a little of the behavior, but it will only affect one line and is easily and quickly fixed.

    @WarrenBelz ,

     

    Thanks. I will try this. It is so frustrating that PowerApps does this auto wrap. Need am option to "pin" datacards so they don't start moving all crazy.
