When I update fields in the Sharepoint List as required or not required, they don't get updated on the PowerApps form as required or not required respectively. I try refreshing it multiple times, but nothing happens. Also tried removing the fields and then adding it again, still doesn't work.
Is this a bug? Or Should I post this as an idea? Please guide
I agree with you as a suggestion for the initial settings, but with games played here the problem was that even changing the "required" setting from sharepoint the change was not reflected in Power Apps and hence any change was in vain.
My suggestion, set all fields not required in SharePoint and use PowerApps to set the required property on the cards. Voila, problem solved.
Hi,
I had same issue, but was able to resolve in this way:
1- Delete DataCard from PowerApps Form;
2- Save and re-Publish PowerApps Form;
3- Rename Sharepoint list column;
4- Verify that re-adding the DataCard (with new name) from PowerApps Form reflects the change ("required");
5- Close PowerApps Form without saving;
6- Revert back renamed Sharepoint list column;
7- Open PowerApps Form and refresh data from list connector;
8- Re-add the DataCard from PowerApps Form.
You can set the Required field of the Data Card to true. That will make it required when the form runs. You can also use If statements so you can it make required based upon the results of another field.
You can set the

The PowerApps form simply does not reflect changes made to the SharePoint fields.
After weeks building an app it's now stuck in a broken state.

As a work around, I am using the DataCard Required field and set to "true".
Required Fields:
Submit Button:
I am using a Submit button because my users like it at the bottom of the form. When using the SubmitForm function, the form will just try to submit with errors and not allow you to edit. As a work around, I added the following to the Visible Property of the Submit Button:
Any update?
NONE of the following resolved the problem. The required status is NOT changing in PowerApps to match the SharePoint list column requirements:
I am running into the same issue, and have tried the suggestions with no sucess.
What happened:
1. Created Sharepoint List.
2. Set some columns to required.
3. Created Powerapp Form from the Sharepoint List.
4. Realized I didn't want some fields to be required, I went to List Settings, and removed the Required checkbox from my columns.
5. When going back to the Powerapp form, the fields that are not required are still showing an asteriks, and will not let me save, the Datacard also shows Required = True.
Fields showing as required on PowerApp Form
List Settings showing columns are not required.
What I have tried:
1. Removing and re-adding the Sharepoint Datasource. - No Change
2. Refreshing the Datasource - No Change
3. Reverting my Powerapp to a version from yesterday - No Change
4. Making the columns required, saving, then setting them to not required. - No Change
This is leading me to beleive that once a field is set to Required, it cannot be modified. The only other thing I can think of is deleting the field from Sharepoint, recreating it and adding it back to the PowerApp, but this is a fair amount of work for something that should work.
Has anyone been able to solved this?
Cuz it doesn't do squat for me to refresh?
Lastly, can i customize the powerapp form and change "required" to TRUe, will tha tcause any issues?
