Permanently Save Entered Data in Play Mode

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

I'm currently using PowerApps to create a form. One of the parts of the form I need is a box for a mailing list, but the user I'm creating the form for wants to be able to edit the mailing list. Is there any way I can have a button labelled "Update Mailing List" that'll save any changes of the mailing list box so it appears whenever the app is run again?

I've tried SaveData, I've tried a SharePoint list to store it externally and I've tried using a flow to save and return a txt file from a SharePoint doc library.

Thanks for the help 🙂

    I would suggest that you use a SharePoint list to store your mailing list text.

    You can add a form control to display and to update the value from your SharePoint list.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-form-detail

     

    Working on the basis that your SharePoint list will only store one record, you can set the item control of the form to First(YourSharePointList) to display/edit the first record.
