Connecting an edited form to sharepoint list data

Posted on by KL007

Hi all,

So I've connected a PowerApp form to a SharePoint list. On the PowerApp form I've changed some of the DataCardValue to a dropdown (the SharePoint list isn't dropdown but contains the same values), by deleting the datacardvalue and replacing it with a dropdown with manual item values (["yes", "no"]). When I open the form by clicking on a gallery item I want it to prefill all the data, but the DateCardValues that I've changed to dropdown don't get prefilled. Is it possible to do this?

Here is an example for you I have created a Text Field in a SP List called YesNoText I have added this to my gallery and set the default to:
If(ThisItem.'Yes No Text' = "Yes","Yes","No")
If you can tell me the data type of your field then I can make this more specific for your use case
Canvas App:

SP List:

Hi Andrew,

I should've explained a bit clearer, when a user clicks on the item in the gallery, PowerApps sends them to a new screen with a form. This form includes dropdown fields with columns from the SharePoint list. I want these fields in the PowerApps form to be filled in already with the values form the SharePoint list.

Do you need some more context?

Hi @KL007 Ok no problems then you can do something like this:
Your form Should be connected to the SP List as its Data Source:

The Item Property set to the Gallery that you have selected:

And then the Dropdown box in the field you wish to display should default to:
ThisItem.FieldName
You need to replace FieldName with your Field:
