How to apply flexible height to all records in a flexible height gallery?

Posted on by Srikanth96

Hello All,

I am trying to create an editable grid in PowerApps using a flexible height gallery but the template size and height seems to be affecting only the first record in the table:

I am using the maximum height among 3 labels+1 as as the value of the template size:

How do I solve this so that all records are adjusted according to the maximum height of the labels in that particular record?

@WarrenBelz

Thank you for the reply.

The Autoheight has been set to true:

Even with the Autoheight set to true (for the column named Remarks), it's not reflecting in the Published application:

Hi @Srikanth96,

Assuming that is a Classic Flexible Height Gallery and the control concerned is a Classic Text Label with AutoHeight set to true, it should work - I use this structure quite extensively in prod apps with no issues. The only thing I can see different on yours to a controI have is the Overflow is set to Scroll on mine, however I could not reproduce what you have setting mine back to Hidden.

You do however need to set that TemplateSize back to a static value - the smallest you need for a single line in the labels.

Hi @WarrenBelz

I have changed the template size to a fixed value but the label does not change it's height dynamically in the published application:

Hi @Srikanth96,

So that is definitely a Classic Label with the AutoHeight set to true linked to a Text field in the data source (ThisItem.TextFieldName)? I cannot duplicate your error here - it works fine with those elements.

Hi @WarrenBelz

Yes, the Text input is linked to a text label with auto height on.

I have tried combinations of classic text input linked with text label:

The preview does not reflect the flexible height:

I have also tried modern text input linked with text label:

The preview does not reflect the flexible height here as well, as you can see, even though auto height is on, the text label height is fixed to 40:

The multiline data to simulate the expansion of the label height is shown correctly but the height just does not dynamically increase even though the auto height property is set to 'True':

Hi @Srikanth96,

That is a strange looking gallery - where are borders coming from ?

Hi @WarrenBelz

I have created an editable grid using the flexible gallery by inserting text inputs, date pickers and comboboxes into them. The borders are from the border thickness that is shown when their status as is set as edit mode on the click of a button:

Hi @Srikanth96,

Is that a Text Input or label (what do you mean by Linked )- AutoHeight only works in Labels. Also when you refer to the Height of the Label in a formula, it is the set Height in its properties, not whatever it expands to with AutoHeight - there is no way to reference this.
