Can I create a PowerApp using a Document Set Content Type as data source?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 12

Hello Everyone,

I'm strugging with this issue, I have created a new Content Type, Document Set, this allows me to have a document library list.

I want to create a new Form using this customized document library as data source, but it seems that this is not possible, because the field with the Folder's name is not allowed to enter any data, it appears in my App as "View Text" only, if I try to update it then I get an error message saying "The specified column is generated by the server and can't be specified" 

Can someone help me ?

Thanks

 

 

The specified column is generated by the server and can't be specified

    hey @migj2003 

     

    this is not possible because everything that is generated by the server cant be edited or modified. What is the created document type for? cant u use a "normal" document library?

     

    Power Apps for SharePoint Document Library (youtube.com)

     

    for me this is the best way to recreate a document library in powerapps
