Form Within a Form

I have completed some searches but haven't found information. I "believe" I would like to create a PowerApp form and then have forms within the main form. Following is an example...

The "yellow" portion would be the main form from SP List A. The light green and blue would be "subforms" from different SP Lists (B & C).

Does this make sense (or is this possible)?

Hi @RJF61

Not that I am aware of. Is there a reason for why you would like to have a subforms? And is the goal to just view that data or to updated as well? Why can't every thing be in the same list?

Hello @akselmb I would like to have access to enter/update data. I suppose these could be included in the Main Form; however, for the Labor (Light Green section), there could be up to 37 trades for a project.

I think I understand. The reason you want to have them in subforms is to avoid one massive list with 50+ columns? I would probably go for the massive list, but make the Power App Forms as user-friendly as possible. For example have combobox/checkboxes in the start of the form that lets me check which Labors I want to include in my project and then let form only show fields related to these Labors. Though, this involves a lot PowerFX-code related to visibility of the other fields.

You could of course use LookUp-columns and have different lists, but in my opinion, that's a pain in the 🙂
