Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have a list in my sharepoint called "inventory", i need a form in powerapps that has only the function to ADD totally new list items to the sharepoint list, the problem is, when i put the the form in, and try to test the app, it says "there's no element to show", and when i try to give it an item, like linking it to a gallery that's connected with the exact same sharepoint list, and put in the item section of the form the function: "gallery1.selected", then it shows the info, but if i modify any of the data of the form, then it will not generate a new item, it will modify the selected item, and that's not what i want...

I need that the form shows the text entrys totally blanks, and then, when i saved the info that i typed in, with a button with the function: "submitform(form1)", it creates a totally new item in the sharepoint list; thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous ,
This is a common issue to encounter. The fix is to set the DefaultMode Property of your form to FormMode.New (instead of FormMode.Edit).Hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, I think there is something wrong with the DefaultMode property of the Edit form in your app.

Please consider set the DefaultMode property of the Edit form in your app to following:

FormMode.New

Set the OnSuccess property of the Edit form to following:

ResetForm(Form1)

Please take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
