Hi @Vijaybhanu ,

Could you share more details about what you want? How do you want to loop text boxes？
PowerApps does not have a loop construct so it's not possible to perform some action within the loop.
However, PowerApps does have a ForAll function which evaluates a formula for all records of a table. It can traverse through all table records and perform action. Reference: ForAll
What's more, hope you can share more information, so that we could provide further assistant.
Best regards,
Sik

Hi @v-siky-msft ,

Thanks for the response.

I want to display two columns say file name and title. File name would be a label and title would be a text box. When user selects an item from a library say lib1 and edits, It would use the Item ID and get all the files from a library lib2 within a folder. And display those file names and titles in labels and textboxes respectively in a tabular format. For instance I have 5 files then I would like to show 5 rows with 1 label (File name) and 1 textbox (File title) in each row. The rows would be dynamic.

I have attached sample image for your reference.

Hey @Vijaybhanu

If you just want to show the details, you can use a Gallery control, this automatically creates rows for each recorded items.

You need to pass the formula to get all the records in the "Items" property. In the gallery control, you can create a Label and a TextInput and this will create number of rows based on returned output.

For more details, you can refer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-gallery

A sample Expression: Filter(DataSource2, ID = ValuefromDataSource1)

If this differs, please share more details so that we might be able to help you better.

Hope this Helps!
