I am trying to build a defect tracking system with the following layout:-

now the underlying data-source is SharePoint, and currently i have these 2 lists to store the info;-

1) Master List with these fields:-

- Operator

- Name

- Equipment ID

- Type. Drop-down

- Date / time

2) Detailed list with these fields:-

- Yes/no field

- Category. Drop-down list with these options (Fluid Leak,Body Damage,Heavy equipment, etc..)

- Yes/no field

- Part.drop-down list with these options (spreader, loose bolt, etc..)

- comment

so the operator create a new report >> automatically the main record will show in read-only >> then the operator can select Yes/No for the related Category >> If the operator select Yes >> they can fill the sub-sections such as spreader,loose bolt, etc..

so is this type of interactions supported by power apps? if the answer is Yes, then can anyone help me on which components i need to use?

Many Thanks

Hi @johnjohn123

Yes, this is possible. We can group the controls based on the layout and make them visible.
For Example, If the user select operator = yes then the visible set of controls
Note: It takes more time to develop this.

Another option is to create a separate screen for each functionality then you can easily navigate back and forth. This is easy to maintain.
