Power app with SP list history control

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi there. I am trying to build a power app to display records from a SP list. Various people may go inside this powerapp, make changes to this SP list items. What I am trying to achieve is when you see a SP list item to be able to see the history with all changes. Has anyone done something like this? If yes, can you suggest a way/logic for me to do this?

Many thanks!

    I would create another list with the same fields and use a flwo with the trigger "when an item is created or modified" i would create a new item in that second list.

    I have an app that is supposed to keep track of Laptops of a certain company and I do that. I update the Laptop (example: gave him more 4GB of RAM) and after that I create that item in the LaptopHistory list

    Hi there. This could work yes. I had this in my mind but I was wondering if we could somehow use SP list versioning to access these items. Reason is because my SP records have to do with email notifications. Scenario as follows:

    1) User needs to send an email notification so he goes and creates a record.

    2) Approver checks the record and either suggests changes or approves

    3) Clearing officer, clears the record or suggests changes

    4) When the record is clear it can be sent.

     

    So, in my logic I could either do it:

    1) Approving/Clearing officer can add comments which are stored in the second SP list per your suggestion so the requestor can do the changes following the comments

    2) Approving/Clearing officer makes notes inside the record (like adding comments in a Word document) so requestor sees the notes and makes the changes maybe using versioning.

     

    To tell you the truth its more convenient for me to do this like you suggest. I was wondering if there is a way to use SP list versioning in power apps for me to avoid maintaining a second list. 

     

    If I don't get a response on this one in a few days I will accept your solution. Thank you for your time on this one!

    SP versioning will not work.. Plus, you dont need that comment/word document. If the approver does not approve the change, you can get the last item from the History list an update your equipment....


    You just need a condition to not create an infinite loop
