Change required fields in SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 43

Hi there!

 

I have a problem when required fields in a SharePoint list get changed.
When I first added all the fields to the Power Apps form, it automatically set the property "Required" of the data cards correctly. If now someone changes this property in the SharePoint list, it does NOT update it in the App. You have to manually change it.

Am I missing something? Or do I really have to go the manual way? It's not really a problem but it changes the way I have to handle my forms.

    After updating the SharePoint list, have you tried refreshing the DataSource in the app to see if it reflects the changes?

    As @zmorek said, try refreshing the data source. Here's a screenshot of how to do it:

    Yes, I updated my Data Source. The problem is, that the "Required" property isn't dynamic. It's set to a fixed value  (true or false) when you add the field to the form (I could re-add a field and then the property is correct). That's how I think this works. But maybe someone has another idea.
    I am looking for something like "Parent.Required" but there is no Parent for the Data Card.
