I have a powerapps form connected to an excel data source. One of the columns/fields is true/false. When I build the wizard/default app the edit screen has all edit/text boxes by default. I can change the control for the t/f field to a checkbox and it works (kindof). But the checkbox acts strangely. There is no way to set the default of the checkbox to the underlying field value, unlike all the other text controls, which use Parent.Default . The default property of the checkbox only allows the literal values True or False. So say the value for the T/F field in a particular record is True. I run the app. I want to change that particular value to False. When I go to the Edit screen, the (manually set) default for the checkbox is False. So I have to check it (make it True), save the change, leave edit screen, go back in and check it off to make it False. All very strange and completely like any other UI.
I am using powerapps to teach students forms but this is just confusing them
