Hi Everyone,

I have 10 fields in the power app screen. I did not use the form control.

I used the patch function to store the data.

I have arranged the 10 fields in 2 columns and 5 rows.

in those 2 are Combo boxes 1 is attachment control used from form

I am unable to set the tab index I need to set

1 2

3 4

5 6

7 8

9 10

I have the fields like this but I am unable to get the order.

The order I need is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.

please suggest me what to do

Thanks in Advance

Usha.

Hey @UshaJyothi20 ,

could you share with us in what order they are actually coming?
can you make sure that the controls in the same line are actually exactly on the same height? You can use the Y property on your controls to be sure.

I think my issue is the order in which I have added the fields

Now do I need to take another screen and add the fields in the order that I need to navigate using the tab?

or how?

could you please guide me.

I just tested the issue on my side.

When I stay Between the number 0-1 (0.1;0.2;...) it works for me except for the dropdowns. I'll have to look that up.

I just found a post that says you have to use the number 0 so that your tabindex works. Can you try this?
