SharePoint list "+New" form (customized in PowerApps) does not open... sometimes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 81

I have a "modern" SharePoint site with a custom list. I used the offered feature to customize forms using PowerApps. The forms all work great... most times. Sometimes, however, when I click "+New" or "Edit", the form does not appear. The UI button flashes with the mouse click, but no form opens. I am using Chrome, as that's what most of our users will use. That said, I have not seen the issue on IE-11, but since it's intermittent I can't say for sure that it doesn't happen there also (we can not use Edge, and few users will use anything else, so not tested on FFox or Safari, etc.)

 

Funny enough, it starts to work again just fine if I perform the following steps... other variations of these steps don't seem to work:

  1. Change to a different view
  2. Go into "Quick Edit"
  3. Enter data into only one of the required fields (but not all) then click out of the row
  4. When the error displays (for missing data in required fields), refresh the screen
  5. Change view back to same view I was in when I had the problem before step 1 above

Now when I click "+New" or "Edit", the form opens as designed.

 

In order to have different forms used for new items and for updates, I have the following attributes set on the SharePointIntegration integration definition:

 

OnCancel = If(SharePointFormMode="CreateForm", ResetForm(AddResource), ResetForm(UpdateStatus))

 

OnEdit = Set(SharePointFormMode, "EditForm"); EditForm(UpdateStatus); Navigate(FormUpdateStatus, ScreenTransition.None)

 

OnNew = Set(SharePointFormMode, "CreateForm"); NewForm(AddResource); Navigate(FormAddResource, ScreenTransition.None)

 

OnSave = If(SharePointFormMode="CreateForm", SubmitForm(AddResource), SubmitForm(UpdateStatus))

 

OnView =  Set(SharePointFormMode, "EditForm"); EditForm(UpdateStatus); Navigate(FormUpdateStatus, ScreenTransition.None)

    Hi @SPA ,

     

    I have made a test on my side, but I don't have the issue you mentioned.

    Have your ever made any modification on you SharePoint list?  Did you format column by JSON object?

    Could you create a new SP list and customize form, then check if your issue still remain? This would help us to confirm which factors does this issue relate to.

    Best regards,

    Sik

    @v-siky-msft , I do use JSON formatting, and had already made changes to it between when I posted and your reply... and have not seen a recurrence of the issue (tho I hadn't made the connection between those events as we are in active development). I will monitor it and if it doesn't come back I will mark your answer as the solution. If it does come back, I'll remove the JSON and re-test, then post results next week. Thanks for the help!
