    Are you connecting to SharePoint list? 

     

    I think I remember reading that LookUp fields are not supported yet.

    Can you give as a screenshot of where you can not find your lookup field? 

     

    Is it not available to be selected in the EditForm as one of the cards?

    I had it working for all my forms... then i added a new form after a couple months and now the option seems to be gone or missing. 

     

    if i open in excel from the entity then the lookup field is there. it just isnt an option from the powerapps DataSource for some unknown reason

    Try to refresh the data source or delete it and add again.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Fields in the Form control may pre-configured as hidden, please check to see if the lookup field has been put into the Hidden fields.

     

    Read more for the form control:

    Understand data forms in Microsoft PowerApps

     

    For testing, lookup fields from Common Data Service could be shown in PowerApps from my side.

     

    Regards,

    Michael
