After Powerapps Form integration: can't open Sharepoint Items anymore

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by WaterAndTomato

Hey all.

I have built a powerapps form that when submitted will create an item in a sharepoint list.

My issue is when I now click on the Sharepoint item it opens my power app instead of the usual View with the item details...

How can I fix this?

Hi,

Yes it sounds like you've customized the form for the SharePoint list (which is a Power App) - this is expected - what you'll need to do is make sure your SharePointIntegration functions treat your form correctly:

So for example in the case you described, the OnView, you would want the form to be in view mode rather than Edit/New, so you'd have it do:

ViewForm(SharePointForm1)

and make sure that all of the items you customized in the form use Parent.DisplayMode so that they use the card's view mode which is based on the Form's view mode

Then if you want to, you can hide/show certain fields on the form by making their visibility based on what mode the form is.

If that doesn't answer your question could you please provide some more info like the kinds of things you were expecting to see/not when in view mode,

Cheers,

Hi,
do you want to remove the customisations that you have done in power apps and just use SharePoint OOB form

Hey,

so I tried this and changed the values for the "sharepoint integration" to this. I did this because by default the values where as you described OnView was "ViewForm(SharePointForm1)
by default this was here.

This is what I changed it to. I also tried only changing the "OnView" but that had the same result.
and in the end I get this now

And I would like to have this view

but my own custom input form for users to create items. Currently I just get the input form instead of the standard view form.

Could the issue be connected to me using a button that OnClick does: SubmitForm(E2E_Request_Form); NewForm(E2E_Request_Form); Navigate(E2E_Request_Form, None)?
I hope I gave enough information on what I am trying to do 🙂

Hi @WaterAndTomato ,

What's the item attribute's formula of your form?

This is the default formula when the custom form is created automatically.

Hi @WaterAndTomato ,

This is the root cause why the form always shows 'Getting your data'.

Basically, it should be the SharePointIntergration.Selected .

Hey @v-xiaochen-msft

thanks for this! This now loads the sharepoint item in the PowerApps form.

Is it possible to get the original view back though? I mean the view that is there by default when no PowerApps form has been integrated. I would like that as the view because it is much easier to see everything compared to the form I created which is nice for entering the data but not really ideal for viewing.

Hi,
you can get the original view details form but by choosing that option you will lose changes done in power apps or you will not get power apps customised new form you will have a default new form.

Oh wow okay 😞

Would it be possible to create a separate canvas on which I only display a the items from the form? I guess that would be the only way for me to get a different view?

Hi @WaterAndTomato
Yes you can create canvas app to have form functionality.
you will have to use deep linking for edit/view form to fetch sharepoint ID and form type - new, edit or view.
you can also add edit button to your sharepoint list view that will open edit form in your canvas app using JSON column formatting.
