Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have created a component in Powerapps with custom Property named DataSource of type Table. Screenshot included below

Component DataSource

[
  { Title: "", Image: "", Screen: "" }
]

I have added a Gallery with Image column, label column.

Gallery Items property

MyComponent.DataSource

Gallery Image - ThisItem. Image

Gallery Label - ThisItem.Title.

Gallery label OnSelect - Navigate(ThisItem.Screen)

When i add the component in screen and pass SharePoint list as the DataSource which has Title and Image column, it shows label but doesn't shows image from SharePoint list. May i know why?

It throws warning Expected a different collection record structure. May i know how to resolve this?

Hi @Poweruser32490,

The warning "Expected a different collection record structure" means the data you are passing to your component’s DataSource property does not exactly match the schema your component expects.

Since your component’s DataSource property is defined as a table of records with fields like:

[
  { Title: "", Image: "", Screen: "" }
]

but SharePoint list likely has a different schema (for example, it may not have a Screen column, or the Image field structure differs), Power Apps raises this warning.

Normalize the SharePoint data to match the component schema before passing it in: Let's use a ForAll or AddColumns to create a collection or table with exactly the fields your component expects.

Example:

ClearCollect(
    colNormalizedData,
    AddColumns(
        MySharePointList,
        "Screen", Blank() // or set to a default screen if needed
    )
)

Then pass colNormalizedData to your component’s DataSource property.

Ensure the field names and types exactly match:

Title should be a text field.
Image should be a URL string or the exact image format your component expects.
Screen should be a screen reference or blank if not used.

If your SharePoint Image column is complex (e.g., a record with .Value), extract the URL:

ClearCollect(
    colNormalizedData,
    AddColumns(
        MySharePointList,
        "Image", ImageColumn.Value,
        "Screen", Blank()
    )
)

Pass the normalized collection to the component:

MyComponent.DataSource = colNormalizedData
