I am a noob and have been Googling and YouTubing for an answer and I kind of understand how to accomplish what I want but can't seem to get everything to work. So, I have an Engineering Order form where there are details like:

EO# - this should automatically be generated as it is sequential and I already setup the column to do this.
Date - this is just the Created column
Requestor - this is just the Created by column
Needed by - date picker
Location - text field
Shipping to - text field

Then is the order section. What I would like is a table that has 2 columns:

Product Name	Quantity

But I want the user to be able to use a button/icon to add rows as needed. They should also be able to delete a row if needed. And then finally a button to submit the form. I have created two lists in SharePoint, one for the Orders and one for the Product Details. On the Orders list, I have a lookup column that points to the Product and Quantity columns of the Product Details list and on the Product Details list, I have a lookup column for the EO# column of the Orders list.

I'm not sure how to construct the form(s) so that the Product Name and Quantity fields are in a Gallery and then added to a collection so that when the form is submitted, everything works. I feel like I have a mess in the tree view and things are not nested the way they should for it work. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Why are you choosing this approach if you are new to Power Apps?

Regarding your requirements, when you want to add a new order line you can popup a modal box (essentially entry fields in a container) enter the new order line, update the collection and refresh the display. A Delete button/icon would be on every line and just remove that row from the collection.

You could also use this tutorial to see if it would satisfy your requirements and would probably be easier to modify

Why am I choosing this approach? Not sure what you mean by that. I am trying to learn how to accomplish this and after trying a few days and failing I figured I would ask for help. As for your reply, thank you for the suggestions but I don't know how to do any of what you said without instructions. Thanks for the link, it seems like it might be helpful in understanding how to use that method to accomplish what I'm trying to do. If it does, I will come back and mark your reply as the answer.
