Issue with Multistep Forms Tab label renaming and Metadata type Tab

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm having some trouble with multistep forms. Whenever I try to use the metadata type tab to change the label text of the multistep forms tab, it doesn't seem to work properly.

I wanted to rename the tab using Power Apps Designer or Portal Management, but every time I do, it messes things up. For example, it removes associated JavaScript for the entire step, which is a major bummer. Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, do you know of any out of the box workarounds?

Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers!

    Hi @OliverRodrigues ,

    Thanks for looking into it.

    There are a few ways to rename a step (tab) name in a multistep form:

    1. Using the Designer:
      This method caused me issues where I lost all the JavaScript written for that specific step.
      You can access the JS for a step using the path:
      • Portal Management > Multistep Forms (select the form) > Form Steps > Select the step > Form Options > Scroll to the bottom and write JS code.

        (if you try write some JS for a step first and then rename the same step using the designer)

    2. Using Portal Management: this works fine.
      • Go to Portal Management > Multistep Forms (select the form) > Form Steps > Select the step > Change the name on General.

    3. Using Step Metadata: This method didn't work for me.
      • Portal Management > Multistep Forms (select the form) > Form Steps > Select the step > Metadata > Create new metadata > Select attribute as 'tab' > Type a label name > Save and close.

    I found method 2 working after all the mess, but I'd still like to get the metadata working so I can keep separate display names from the actual names, if you know what I mean.


    Also, this has caused me more issues now. I used to download the site using PAC download using VScode, but after this error (method one renaming the step using the designer), it has stopped working and gives me errors. Pretty disappointing.

    Hi, I just tested the functionality and didn't have any issues. Can you tell me the step by step that you are doing so I can reproduce?
