Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

For some weird reason, it seems like two of my fields are getting interchanged somewhere in between my PowerApp and my SharePoint list. The contents of my Title field (text) end up in my Submitter field (User() for New or existing contents for Edit), for example, upon submission of a new record. I have gone over and over the controls and settings and nothing is wrong that I can find. This worked fine before I moved to the SP list.

History of this:

Had to move my PowerApp from using Excel as back-end to SharePoint list. (Why? We cannot share our Excel with all of the proposed users and allow them not only access to directly edit, but sending them a link to make it obvious they can do so!)
I did the move and fields were broken but I fixed most all of them.
Except, at least for one of the fields I mention above, the one that holds the User().FullName info, ahad broken Maxlength controls. I deleted the contents of MaxLength, seeing that DataSourceInfo doesn't work with all fields. Apparently this is a SP list issue, as it worked with Excel back-end.
- This is what I had to delete: DataSourceInfo([@'MyDataSource'], DataSourceInfo.MaxLength, "UserName") (here, I have removed my actual field names for generic ones)

I have other issues too since this move, but have been advised to break them out into different requests here. Doing so now.

Thanks!
