Hello.
I have created many forms in PowerApps that integrate with SharePoint lists. One of the issues that I have come across is that PowwerApps does not have built in functionality for appending text fields. I found a solution to this in a Power Automate flow that pulls the corresponding appending text entries from the previous versions of the list item and returns it to PowerApps.
I currently have this flow triggered by the user manually clicking a button within the form that calls the flow and stores the resulting text into a variable.
Set(PreviousNotes, GetAllVersions.Run("<ColumnName>", "<Site URL>", "<List Name>", ThisItem.ID))
I then have an HTML Text field that displays PreviousNotes.Result as its default value.
This works well, but it is not ideal that the user has to click the button and then wait for the flow to run and the notes to be displayed. Is there a way that I can have this triggered automatically whenever an existing item is viewed or edited or is there anyother solution for appending text fields that would allow for this?
