Hi,

 

Is it possible to replace the data source for a BOX connection by another file in another directory ?

The use case would be to first test the app on test data and then move to production data.

 

Thank you,

 

Olivier

    Hi Olivier,

     

    Yes, if you keep the table name and structure same, you can remove the 'test' connnection and add the 'prod' connection. The app should automatically bind to all the columns correctly.

     

    See here on how to add connections: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/add-data-connection/
