Add new DataCard to form without having to replace all other datacards

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 181

I have several forms linked to SharePoint lists which very occasionally I have have to add a new column to. 

When I do add a new column and refresh the data source I get prompted to replace all data cards which I have to do to get the new DataCard to display. This nukes any conditional formatting I have set on the existing datacards (turn red when =yes) 

 

is there a way to add the new DataCard to the form without destroying the formatting of the existing datacards?

    If you change the schema of a SharePoint list, you have to save the changes in SharePoint and refresh the browser by reloading the page.  Then in PowerApps refresh the data using the ellipsis next to the datasource on the left hand column.  The new column should now be present in the dropdown on the right side.

    Just say No to that.

     

    After that, just refresh your data source. If the column still does not show up, save your changes and then close the app. Open a new tab, open your app, and do another refresh.
