Making an app that opens in NewForm edit screen by default

Posted on by JaguarMonkey

I am working on a problem where general users will only have a single screen that allows them to report an item that require fixing, similar to the common inspection app, but without a browse screen or details screen.

How can I make it so that it opens at the EditScreen in NewForm mode?

Thanks

In the App object in the control tree in Power Apps there is a property for Start Screen. Set the value of that property to the EditScreen in NewForm mode. The app will always use that screen as the first screen displayed.

Hi @JaguarMonkey ,

Change the DefaultMode of your form to New. Everytime you open the form it will be a new form and it will be editable.

@PTBBSolutions and @Pstork1 Thank you. This seems to work. I have a brief but noticeable moment though where I get a black screen with the message "No data source provided" before the form loads. 🤔

You've got a couple options.

1) Check your settings to make sure you don't have delayed load enabled.

2) Create a splash screen with a timer on it that is the start screen. Then when the timer expires navigate to the new screen. The splash screen timer can be set to a short period to cover the time it takes to initialize the connection and get the data.
