Hello Power Platform Community,Recently I have received a task that requires from me adding a form into a datacard within a scrollable canvas grid. I am sure that previously it was possible (because I did it while working on other app) by copying/cutting it and pasting in a datacard, however currently it does not work - I can only insert a form outside the canvas grid. I am wondering whether I am losing sth or it was somehow blocked in one of the last releases. Do you know some other workarounds for such a case?To visualize the problem:I want to have 'frmAttachmentsControl' placed in 'crdAttachments' (which is a datacard involved in a scrollable canvas 'canIdeaAssessment')
Regards,Michał
Hi @MKrezymon
No - you're not losing it! This used to work, but it stopped working about a month ago.
I think @RandyHayes had raised this issue with Microsoft, so maybe Randy might be able to comment on this.
Hi @MKrezymon ，
Do you want to Insert a form into a data card? I'm afraid that is not available currently.
Based on the latest official documentation: You can't copy and paste forms into data cards. This is to prevent certain combinations of controls from being created that risk the stability and the performance of the app.
Here are some links that for your reference:

In addition, maybe you could add a Container Control and try as below:
