I am new to power apps, I have a combo box that the users pick what SharePoint list they want to view in the gallery. Since I am using Switch in the gallery to populate the chosen list I am not sure how to get the form to show all details of the selected item in the gallery. Any help would be amazing.

Populating a view form with a selected item in a gallery that populated by Switch command for data.

Because it is for work and is connecting to SharePoint lists with sensitive info I can't do screen shots. I was able to copy the switch code from the gallery into the data source in the form view and 3 of the fields out of the 30 are populating, so now to a new problem 🫠. Thank you for responding and trying to help

SpongYe, thanks for the option, for some reason that is not working, I tried putting that in the data section as well, but still didn't work

Hi,

On the OnSelect property of the Gallery store the selectedItem:

Set(SelectedListItem, ThisItem)

And then show the Selected item in Form.Item:
