Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

i have a sharepoint online list with the following columns

SharePoint online form works with no issues.

When i create a form in powerapp from the sharepoint menu, 2 of my fields are not mapped correctly.

My field named title has 'Title0' for the data field.

My field named 'MoC' has 'Title' as the data field.

When i complete the form in real-time via New in sharepoint, the MoC and Title fields are getting changed.

Form in New Mode

when saved,

when go to edit

change title field back to title and saves ok, but when i edit go back to the error.

i don't understand why powerapps in changing the fields. sharepoint custom form works fine. Ive deleted the powerapp form several times and started again but still same error. was previously working ok.

Any ideas anyone? please.

Hey,

Each Column is SharePoint list has two names, one is DisplayName / Title and another one is InternalName.
By defualt SharePoint Online list has Title column with [ InternalName as Title and DisplayName as Title ]
In you list, this Title column's display name is renamed to MoC. But the InternalName is still remains Title and display name is MoC.

After the renaming, a new column is created with the name as Title in that list. By default, SharePoint identifies the duplicate name and creates a InternalName as Title0 and Display name as Title.

To fix this, deleting the powerapps won't work. Follow the below steps,
Change the displayName of MoC to Title,
Create the new column name MoC
Delete the Title0 column
OR
Map the Label name and Control name respectively in the powerapps
I hope you have understand the problem. And please let me know, if you have any queries.

Hi @Anonymous,

This is more to do at the SharePoint List setting level than at the PowerApp level. Do the Following:
Go to the SharePoint List setting and ensure that the internal name (you could see as part of the URL at the as filed=<<Field Internal Name>>).
If they both are not same ensure that MOC internal name is also MOC
You can't see this Title0 column in SharePoint to best of my knowledge unless you created a field with that name
Now come to PowerApps and remove the list from the data source and add it again and then start doing the mapping.

I hope this resolved your issue if you see any challenge/need further help please let me know I am always happy to do it for my community.

Regards,
Krishna

thanks all for your input @KrishnaV @Shanthakumar

working once again now.

The MoC field was the original title field so i didn't have an option to delete. Just renamed MoC back to title, then deleted and recreated the MoC field. Thanks once again. I still wasnt able to find how i could view the internal name of the field.
