I have multiple content types in my SharePoint list and now I would like to modified the NewForm using PowerApps. As of my knowledge it's not possible to have multiple forms, one for each content type? Therefore I would like to get the selected content type and based on that value show/hide different fields. But how to I get that property?
Hi @Anonymous ,
Currently you cannot get the SharePoint content type in PowerApps, if you need this, please consider to vote on below idea for now:

I'm not sure if this would work for your specific requirements, but nonetheless you can get the Content Type for a List Item using the Graph API using a flow. Get an item in a list
GET /sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items/{item-id}?expand=fields
GET /sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items/{item-id}?expand=fields(select=ContentType)
https://masteroffice365.com/powerapps/5/#PA_Graph_ListItems
This flow returns loads of metadata info for all items in a list including the Content Type for any given item. You could modify this flow to retrieve the metadata for specific item.
https://masteroffice365.com/powerapps/3/#PA_Graph_Site_List_Libraries
This flow will returns the {site-id} and the {list-id} which you'll need to pass to the other flow.
Of course you could merge it all into a single flow returning just the Content Type for a single list item.
