I have created a Power App.

The app is based on a Sharepoint List.

There is on going conversation about whether to access the SP LIst through the

'Use a custom form created in Power Apps', or directly through Power Apps.

I did NOT create the app using the 'Use a custom form created in Power Apps'.

Is there a way to connect the SharePoint list to my Power App, even though I
didin't create the app using the 'User a custom form created in Power Apps',
so that when the user, while in the SharePoint list, clicks 'New' item or 'Edit' item,
the Power App I've created will open?

    Re: Connect SharePoint List to Power App

    Figured it out.

    I opened the existing SP form through 'List Settings' - 'Form Settings'.

    I changed the SharePoint list to 'New Experience'.

    I created new screens in that form and pasted my Power Apps form screen(s) content to those new screens and connected that content to the data source.

    I then had to update the field and control connections to the appropriate list, and re-write the formulas and variables.

    A bit of work; But, hey, it worked.
