    Hi @SP123456 

    you can get  FormContext from executioncontext ...

     

    ExecutionContextObj.getFormContext()

     

    and then many be get current form as below..

     

    formItem = formContext.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem();

     

    and then can access form label like  formItem.GetLabel()

     

    refer following article for more information 

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/formcontext-ui-formselector

     

     

    Hope this helps..

    HI @SP123456 , 

     

    even if you get the name of the form somewhere in the PCF context, it would be unuspported.

     

    The supported way would be to add a dummy field to your PCF (something like "formName") and use form scripting to grab the form name (as @MayankP suggested) and set that value for a dummy column associated with the PCF "formName" property.

     

     Hope this helps!
