Hey everybody,

today I encountered a strange behaviour, which I didn't saw earlier.

I embedded a gallery control inside a datacard of a form and it is not showing any content. When I copy and paste it on the same level as the form, evrything is showing fine.

Is that a bug or intended behaviour? I thought I read something about placing galleries inside other controls, but couldn't find that now.

Hello, your solution partially work for me. Thanks for that. But in my collection I have several items and it is showing one. Any idea why?

Re: Bug? Gallery not shown when inside DataCard

Hello everyone.
I know it's been a while since this issue but I think I've found a solution for it that I'd like to share.
The issue is that when you are working inside a form, there is already a connection running, so it seems that Powerapps is not able to handle a new one for the Gallery control, which you have set up inside the Datacard.
The solution that is working well for me is:
- Set in the OnVisible page's property a collection with Collect or ClearCollect, for the items you want to deal with or display in your Gallery.
- Put inside the Datacard of the form, the Gallery control that you need to display.
- Set in the Gallery's Items property, the name of the Collection.
This sequence worked in my form from the very first moment without any problem.
I hope it helps you all.

Re: Bug? Gallery not shown when inside DataCard

Okay,
so today starting a new day, I just thought "Just copy & paste the gallery from yesterday, which is now on the page outside the form back into the data card, just for a try." .... and now it's working. This is really strange behaviour.

So what I did was:
1. Add gallery to datacard (items property was from the beginning a sharepoint list and directly set in the gallery) -> did not show anything
2. Copy & Paste the gallery on the page -> Everything works
3. Copy & Paste into datacard -> doesn't work
4. Leave the gallery outside the form
5. Close app & Open app
6. Copy & Paste the gallery into the data card -> works
I didn't touch any property after the initial generation of the gallery... But thanks guys!
