Unable to view Data Source fields

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 123

I was fairly successful with PowerApps the first year or two. I've been away for a while and came back to try to create a new app, but having problems viewing/adding/removing fields from the views. 


I created a simple Sharepoint list with a few text fields and a few choice fields. I have 16 fields total, but only 8 fields are showing in my Details and Edit screens by default.

I recall in the past simply turning on/off fields with the "eye" icon, but I can't see those options now. If I click to show the Data Sources, my source shows and the fields show briefly - for maybe half a second, then disappear. This view has changed since the last version I used, but it appears to be a glitch. I did try uninstalling and reinstalling PowerApps, but I can't fix the problem. 

Does this sound like a bug or is there an option I'm missing?

    Hi @AW

     

    The fields are now shown in different place.

     

    1. Select your DisplayForm/EditForm

    2. in the right side menu click Data under Properties Tab

    3. You can manage the fields from the Data menu.

    I replied via email where I didn't see your screenshot. On mine, I can see everything except the fields listed below the datasource. They appear there for a brief moment and then disappear.

    And after viewing your screenshot up close and seeing where I didn't click the form properly, I now see the fields. Problem solved and thank you very much!
