SharePoint list form migration

Posted on by IliaZhukov

Hi all,

1. In Tenant A there's a SharePoint list which has its item form customized with PowerApps. It's not a standalone canvas app - it's not visible in the make.powerapps.com. The app was downloaded as a .msapp file.
2. A new list was created in the Tenant B from the list template, so all columns are exactly the same.
3. Msapp file from step 1 was extracted, tenant and list URLs were updated, corresponding GUIDs were updated, msapp file was packaged back and successfully opened in the Tenant B environment, connection to the new list is correct and working fine. Now it's a standalone canvas app which is visible in the list of apps on make.powerapps.com
4. However, after publishing the app it doesn't appear as a list item form in SharePoint list in Tenant B.

How should we migrate Power Apps which are list item forms (not canvas apps) between the environments (e.g. dev/uat/prod) and lists?

Thank you.

Thanks @v-xiaochen-msft

the main problem was to find the "Export package" for the Power App in the source list.

It can be found via List Settings - Form Settings - "See versions and usage" link, which opens https://make.powerapps.com/apps/GUID/details page where the Export package link is available.

After that standard .json file update, import package, open, save and publish app did the trick.

Hi , don't we have any free tools yet (came across P2P and FlowPowerAppsMigrator). Microsoft has not yet come up with any solution for migrating SharePoint list forms customized with Power apps?

I have a SharePoint list with 160 columns that has 4 lookup columns and the powerapp has 8 data connectors (to SharePoint lists and outlook), 6 collections and multiple custom columns. The list has about 20K + items. We need to create Dev and test environment using the prod list which was created in 2020.

Any suggestions on how to go about with it?
