Collections in the GUI menu in PowerAps under the Variables menu not working properly

Hello,

I'm using PowerApps Studio with Firefox and I'm having some issues with the collection display in the proper menu.

Left ribbon Variables>Collections

 

Using a simple ClearCollect function to grab data from a SharePoint list into a collection without any specific request I get some strange behavior or let say a bad user experience.


Using a button with OnSelect property defined like that:

ClearCollect(colCdeUpdate, test_cde)
 
I get that below, and as you can see columns title's seems not there, in fact they aren't expanded.
  • No way to expand all columns in one time
  • No way to define auto-expand somewhere in settings, as far as I know

Trying in other way defining a ClearCollect with a ShowColumns function like that:

ClearCollect(colCdeUpdate; ShowColumns(test_cde; "ID"; "Title" ))

 
My guessing will be to get a collection only populated with ID & Title from a SP List and at first seen it seem better...

  • Columns titles still displayed in same way as earlier ...
  • Expanding columns titles appear BUT all the SharePoint List columns are there...
  • I was only expecting 2 columns

May all behaviors mentioned are working in a correct way and I have a wrong mindset.

 

I think is not working properly, so I try reporting it in this post.

 

Power Apps Studio version is 3.23042.12

Apologies my screenshots are made on a french environment due to settings managed by the company.

 

Hope I was clear and not offendinging, apologies if it was the case. 🙏

I'm not using IA to write for me. 😉

 

Kind Regard
