Powerapps not recognizing new columns in Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 632

A bit of an odd one, I've added some new columns to a sharepoint list. I've refreshed the datasource in powerapps, and I can't see the new columns. I created a new blank powerapp, just to test this out, and when creating a new datasource connection to the list it still only gives me the original columns. I also tried with a different list, but the result is the same, it only sees the original columns.

 

This is happening independently of the column type. Single line, multiline, image, Hyperlink, Date, doesn't matter, still doesn't show up.

 

Any problems currently ongoing? anyone else seeing this?

    Sometimes you need to remove the connector and bring it back in again.  This should not affect any of the controls that already depend upon it.

    And why is that? "Sometimes"? Why not every time or never? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, it feels very solid this platform.

    No. It works sometimes and sometimes not. No logic.

    I have this same exact issue. Why is this ticket labeled as "solved" when it clearly isn't. I have removed the re-established the connector about 5 times now to no avail. @microsoft

    Facing the same issue in Oct 2023 and this issue still remains unsolved.
    Also, please provide a way to delete the unwanted Collections from the App.
