Hi, may I ask what happened to the layout option in forms where you specifify if it is horizontal or vertical? There used to be an option after columns. Now it's gone.

Hi @santoscp_mwci ,

This seems to be a known issue after the powerapps update.

The layout property of the gallery and form of the previously created canvas app disappeared.

There is a work around.

You could create a new canvas app and cut all the controls (Ctrl+X) in the old app and paste them into the new app(Ctrl+V).

In addition, I suggest you submit a support ticket . Here

Best Regards,

I had this problem in an app that had many forms vertical and horizontal. Then I noticed while testing that one form lost its width during a collapse and expand operation. Anyway to make a long story short, I ended up with only custom cards in a couple of forms. Layout was greyd out and said "No layout specified" or something like that. What I had to do was to insert one real card from the data source and hide it. With a non-custom card, the form was able to function properly (layout and function). If I remove that hidden field from the data source, the form loses its brains about layout and there's no way to change it unless you insert an actual card. I'm glad I realized this, but I would have thought that I'd have found that when searching for a solution. Perhaps there's no need of the form when there are only custom cards? But sometimes the way a form deals with card layout is the best way to get a decent looking form.
