DataCards moving on their own

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by JillH 78

Hi all. I've had experience building PowerApps before, but am starting a new project from scratch. I have about 10 datacards to arrange. When I open "Edit Fields" to move them around... things go haywire. On my top row, it goes "Name" then "Client" On Row 3, it should go "Objective" Then "Attachments". When I drag Attachments up... it also swaps Name & Client. They aren't groups, I have Snap to Columns off, the datacards aren't too wide, etc. Then, I swap Name and Client back to where they should go... and it swaps Objective & Attachments. 

 

I... am so confused! Any help would be appreciated

    For placing datacards, first make sure you have SnapToClumns set to false (which you indicate you have), then make sure your form is able to adjust based on the widths of the datacards by setting the columns to 12 (this is the maximum and will give the most flexibility).

     

    See if that helps in any way.  If not, it sounds like you are having the most issues in the field edit list itself...in which case you might try the approach of moving them the opposite way - in other words get the objective and attachments in the order you want and then move the name and client after that.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
