SharePoint List customize with PowerApps > user being impersonated issue

I am not sure where to start with this issue, but I will try and explain >

 

  1. We have created a SP List and used the Customize with PowerApps.
  2. If 'I' add a new item via the PowerApp New Form the SP list item is entered with a Created By that is not myself (it is one of our admin accounts).  This does not appear to effect other users just me logged in as me.
  3. If 'I' use the Quick Edit in the SP List, the entry goes in as Created by ME.
  4. So we have obviously determined that it is something to do with the PowerApp, but we are lost as to what in the PowerApp is causing this issue.

 

  • The PowerApp does have some functionality that hides/shows some  buttons on the various forms depending on a Status field.

Can anyone shed some light as to how we debug this issue or even better how to fix it.

 

Many thanks

    Hello,

     

    I think quick edit is not affected by PowerApps modification.

    What happens if you select one item and then click edit on the top?

     

    Best regards.

    Hi, yes i agree Quick edit is not powerapps hence why I believe the issue is in PowerApps somewhere? 

     

    Edit an item I created (Created by <> Me), the Modified By is still the <> Me (the edit form is now a powerapp form)

    Edit an item I created (Created by <> Me), via Quick edit, Modified by = Me

     

    It is really baffling me
