Is it possible to have a parent/model screen so that I don't have to duplicate buttons (for example) that I created on a screen?

@Deivid

It is easy to duplicate a screen in PowerApps. All of the controls are duplicated with functions intact.

@Drrickryp If you only have that option, fine.

I believed there could be something deeper, as I remember there was in Delphi (I used it very little, but it seems to me that it was possible to use buttons (for example) with the same functions in the parent and children form, but when it was necessary to change something in the parent button , all children could also receive that change).

Grateful!

I found the solution I was looking for.

It is important to create a screen to keep the patterns of buttons, text, colors, and so on. This screen will not appear in the application, it will only appear in a secondary way.

We will take the Text Input field as an example, the number 1 of the image is the "parent" field and the field 2 we will only use to copy to our application.

When we select field 2, we will place all the properties that will be used by linking to field 1, as shown in field 3. In this field 3, I'm making it clear that field 2 will drink from the size property that is in field 1.

Hope this helps.

Components in Power Apps can also be used for the same purpose.
