Please help!

I'm getting this error in my powerapps form connected to a SP list. I even deleted all the cards and variables and i still have the error.
"Name isn't valid. This identified isn't recognized Sharepointintegration.SelectHidden"

The only thing i can think of, is that i recently changed the SP name and updated the data source. THe form works but it wont update the row i select in SP. Let me know how i can fix this, thanks

The easiest way to fix it is probably to go into the List Settings > Form Settings and revert the list back to using classic Forms. Then you try adding the SharePoint Integrated form back in using PowerShell.

Sorry, not thinking straight. I meant PowerApps, not PowerShell. Yes, you would lose all the PowerApps work that you had done so far. But that's easier than trying to go down the rabbit hole to figure out what got out of sync and correcting each mistake.

@Pstork1 I believe it's a bug since i deleted all the data cards and variables, cleaned up the entire form and any reference to the data source and the error was still there. Should this be escalated?

You can open a support ticket if you like, but I would try removing the Powerapps form itself and trying again. I don't think its a bug. But there are a lot of connections that are made automatically behind the scenes and I think one of those is out of sync since you renamed things in the list. That's not abnormal.

@Pstork1 Two last questions:
1. Is it possible save the layout/template of the form?
2. For future reference, what is the best practice/way to rename a SP list ? A lot of times, i'm creating these lists as an option/solution and once it's approved by a manager/higher level then we decide on the name. I'd like to know how it's being done by others since the list name is critical to provide guidance of what the scope/intention is.

1) For regular PowerApps Canvas Apps you can export or do a SaveAs. But for SharePoint Integrated Forms that isn't available. Old versions are maintained, so you can restore those, but I don't know of any way to save the Layout.

2) You should be able to change the Display name of the list in the List Settings without causing an issue. The Inner name and the GUID used to identify the list won't change if you do that. I tested it and had no issues with my PowerApps form after changing the display name of the list. YOu should also be able to change the schema of the list if you make sure you refresh the data source in PowerApps. Again, I've tried that and haven't had an issue either.

But like a lot of things in SharePoint and PowerApps many of these values are copied and not referenced. So making changes can cause issues that are hard to correct. Its best to get changes to the underlying list done before making a custom form.

Whenever you create the SharePoint Form, The below fields will create automatically!

1. FormScreen1
2. SharepointForm1

When accidentally SharepointForm1 was changed to some other name, You need to change Sharepoint integration Formula as well
