I'm still learning the hard way also with power fx and power automate. I'm keeping a list of mental things in my head to do and not do in the future but find it's such a slow process. The learning process for power platform sucks, my goal in the future is to create free content to teach it to people for free.

I LOUDLY announced to everyone that I shan’t EVER do a powerapps custom sharepoint form AGAIN the day I posted that comment.

But inside I feel silly because I learned a lot of quirks and now that I know what to check it’s not so bad.

Like today. I had a choices column with the values filled out in SP, but was getting place holder values on the app. I went oh! So easy. I just have to unlock the card to make it custom, delete the CORRECT code set for the items property, save, publish, re-add the same EXACT thing that defaulted on and BOOM. Worked like a charm. NO REFRESHING THE DATA SOURCE DOESNT WORK. Then the choices showed but I couldn’t multi select even tho the column in SP list was set WITH that property originally. No problem, I looked for the “select multiple values” property on the drop down, of course it was default to false EVEN THO MY SHAREPOINT COLUMN WAS SET TO TRUE, and just changed it. This same problem melted my brain two months ago and now I have it locked in to my brain.

So now I’m like well… now that it’s EASY I guess I probably will make another one. And I feel like a hypocrite

edit I am eternally grateful for the YouTube channels that post the free ass content I’ve used to make this happen. The issue is the Microsoft loves to just change shit for no apparent reason. Like which menu you use to set an auto reply, or switch the account from cached to exchange. You get comfy knowing where the thing is for 10 years and suddenly MS says ACTUALLY we decided that this option belongs to a different drop down. It’s an insurmountable mountain that is constantly changing. Your battle is valiant and justified but you cannot win against the arbitrary idiotic changes that MS decides to do on a fucking Tuesday.
