PowerApp form does not work to create item in a list

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I created a simple PowerApp form on a SharePoint Online list using the menu in ribbon. I am able to edit an existing item using the form and save the changes, but not able to use the form to create an item.

When click "New" in the ribbon, the form showed up, I filled up all required columns and click "Save", nothing happens.

I checked the form properties, it default to "Edit" but it also set "OnNew = NewForm " etc, it should auto switch to New form if I click "New" button to launch the form.

Can some one give me a pointer what is missing here?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous ,
Are there anything different about your permissions in SharePoint?
If not (and I know you have checked this) what is the OnNew and OnSave properties in SharePointIntegration?

OnSave works when saving Edits. But nothing happens when click Save after open the form via "New" in the ribbon and filled all required columns.

In the form config everything looks fine, OnSave = SubmitForm OnNew=Newform

Thanks @Anonymous ,
I suggest you go into Form Settings in SharePoint, choose Default SharePoint form, delete the PowerApps form and let SharePoint re-generate. There is nothing more you can change.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

I switched to default sharepoint form and deleted the powerapp form. Then generate the powerapp form again, save and published.

I launched the form via “New” button, but it still does not save at all, just stay there nothing happens

The problem was due to data problem, hidden columns are required and have lookup relation. After fixed the problem, re-published the form, it worked.

Power app is just pulling the headings from sharepoint list but does not add a text field or dropdown to the fields.
I am a new user. Please advice.
