Populating Different SharePoint Lists depending on the button selected

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hi, 

 

I'm new to using PowerApps but have been tasked with building an app to gather data from site leads on different topics,

 

I have 5 SharePoint lists, each based on a different topic, in the app I want the user to be able to select the SharePoint list they want to populate (In the form of a button at the top of the page), and from that the form will populate with relevant fields from that list, the user will then input the relevant information and when they click submit it will populate the SharePoint list they originally selected,

 

however due to my lack of experience with power apps I'm not sure if this is possible, I'm looking for any advice on how to approach this, 

 

If i haven't explained this very well i apologise, feel free to ask any questions.

 

Thanks in advance!

    @Hfow_ one simple way to do it would be to have a screen for each of the subjects. When the button on the first screen is clicked the OnSelect property has a  navigate action that takes you to the relevant screen. On each of the subject screens you would have an edit form with the fields from the appropriate SharePoint list and  Submit and Cancel buttons or icons.
