Change type of sharepoint column; impact on power apps form data cards formatting

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 27

I've got a power apps form for entering new items into a sharepoint list.  The list has over 100 columns.  I've built the form by setting the layout of the datacards (putting 3 on a row in some cases, 2 in others etc by using setting the field width and using the X & Y values in the individual data cards).

 

I've almost reached the end of the form when I've come across a datacard which is showing a date, the underlying sharepoint list column is also a date (my mistake it should have been a single line of text).  I've changed it in SharePoint and I'm wondering how to update this in power apps.  I deleted the offending data card in the power apps form and then clicked on the data source and from there clicked on refresh, this prompted me with the message "Would you like to replace the data cards?"  "This will replace all the cards on this form with new ones, based on your data".

 

I would normally click through on this, but I've spent all day organising the layout of this form so before going ahead, I'd like to know whether this will delete all the formatting I've done today?

 

TIA

    Hi @TonyH - why don't you just add the new data card you created?
