I been working on a project where I was having issues figuring out the relationship issue between lists. This is a lifesaver! I just signed up as a Silver Member....Great content 👍👍👍
This video could not have come at a better time! Currently building an app that requires an entry of multiple users that are associated with a top level item on another list (ideally). Your video came just in time! 👏👏🍻
This is the second time going through this video and I have to say, this is such a great app you have created and you explained it so well. Question for you, if you are designing a form for users primarily using a desktop, do you prefer to make forms in an app like this or would you rather customize a list form in Power Apps?
Thank you very much Reza!! Just what I was looking for.... Only one thing left for me: a button to duplicate a record in the main list and all the related record in the secondary list. Can you let me know one of your videos in which I learn to do that?
Hey Reza this is great, wasn't too sure about using the modern controls but more confident about them now. Have you ever done anything on cloning/copying records were list relationships are involved, such as if you wanted to use a project with its tasks as a template for people to get quickly up and running?

Hello Reza ! Jason Here! Quick Question ; How many Sharepoint List as Lookup is recommended to have into a canvas apps. its performance being affected ? Glad for showing me this amazing resource in order to advance in my learning path Blessings
You're so awesome Reza! I got your video message from conference. Thank you for taking the time to send it! I'm a total fan girl. I shared it on FB and tagged your page too! 🤗😍
Another Info-Packed video. Really great insights. Loving the responsive tips along side as it's helping me finetune a Responsive App I'm working on now which is coming along nicely. I always look forward to your videos and I'm yet to be disappointed. Thanks for sharing.😀
Great video! Thank you! I became a member so I could purchase, customize, and deploy quickly, as well as gain more knowledge & experience w/power apps so thank you! Quick question why does the search bar on Main screen not function? It seems like a simple straightforward function but for some reason I cannot get it to search my “projects” list in the side container . Is it possible the hidden button that is in the search box area causing issues w/the search functionality? Thanks again.
@@RezaDorrani Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, I did. It’s up and running and I customized it for my specific need but the search function does not work. I have a similar app set up just the same as the main screen of your app and the search function works great no problem. I just can’t figure out why it won’t search. The 🔍 icon does nothing. I’ve checked all possibilities. Thank you!
I decided to watch another video of yours for setting up my search function. My lists are not large now but they will grown very quickly so I need to set it up accordingly. Thanks.
I have followed this is and created my own version a couple of months ago awesome tutorial !. I now need to add additional values in the Priority drop-down if I add these to the Drop Down in my SharePoint list will they Automatically appear in the Power App ? Additionally if I add extra Columns to the SharePoint list will they automatically be available to us e in the App
Hi Reza, this tutorial was fantastic! It helped so much with my app creation. Would you be able to go into further detail about this functionality with a Person column? I would like to do exactly this but am having trouble displaying my Person chosen in a ComboBox after adding items or deleting rows from my gallery. How can I replicate these things with a selected Person?
Glad to hear that! I have not tried with a person column so not sure about that. No current plans to explore it. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
@@RezaDorrani I have been looking on the forums (and posted my question) with no luck. Hopefully someone can find a solution soon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Reza, thank you so much. Why don’t you have to include the Priority choice/drop-down field under ShowColumns in your Patch function? Yours seems to still update the choice column in SharePoint but mine does not. 20:17
Hi Reza I love your videos so easy to follow and have built several of your apps having never done any SharePoint so finding these videos extremely informative. I have tried and failed to use this relationship on a custom form, so because i'm using the SharePointIntegration data model to get the record. When i view the form the record is there so it all seems to be working, my issues is I have 2 drop downs and when i edit the fields i can't add value. It doesn't seem to save but i think it maybe something to do with drop downs. Also have lots of red circles when in power apps which can't be good. Obviously missing something and my very basic level of knowledge of the data model and functions is hampering me, really sorry to ask as i know your not here to support Sharepoint.
Thanks so much for watching and learning from the videos. I cannot guess the error on custom forms without trying the scenario or replicating the issue. I will recommend posting your issue on forums in case someone has experienced something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani Hi Reza I got it working by changing the relationship field from a lookup to the ID of the main list. This was shown in another one of your videos. sorry Didn't update post as was not expecting such a prompt response. I must say that your videos are the easiest and best videos on the internet. Thank you so much
Amazing, Reza...👍 I have a case in which many projects must be tracked saving all tasks, approvals, notes, files... Must they be separated in different related lists and concatenate collections of max 2000 rows to avoid delegation problems?
Too many collections and too many relationships will hit performance of App. For lightweight use case SharePoint is good but beyond that you should consider Dataverse or SQL
Hi Reza, This video is extremely helpful. I have created an Application using this as reference. I have a requirement here to display sum of values in a column in the tasks gallery in the label. Anything you can suggest to help on this?
Thank you for this terrific video. (Silver member) Is it possible to add an image (for example, a receipt) as a field in the Tasks table? If so, would an "Add picture" control work?
Hi Reza, this is fantastic thank you so much as always! I have built something for work which replaces projects with risks and tasks with treatments to lower the risk which works great but I have been wondering if there is a way to assign the tasks (or treatments in my case) to multiple projects? When I allow multiple selections on my list, it creates an incompatible comparison so is there a way I can get round this? Any help would be much appreciated!

@@lukejones2819 Glad to hear that! I have not tried with a person column so not sure. I have done 4-5 grid videos and may have shown person in one of them. Try checking those.
I appreciate all your videos very much! I have built a wonderful app using this tutorial and now fine tuning. If I create a new parent item (which would not have any child records associated with it) and then go to the child screen to create a child record, is it possible to make the child gallery with the repeating table already have a blank row ready to fill in? So that I wouldn't have to click the "Add" button until I wanted to make a second child item?
@@RezaDorrani Any thoughts on how I could make first row of the repeating tables already be on the second screen when the parent item does not already have a child item associated with it? I tried writing an if statement for the OnVisible of the screen, saying that if there were 0 rows, Select the Add button, else Select LoadGrid. That isn't working. What am I doing wrong? If( CountRows( Filter(Dec4RezaChild, RecordsGallery1.Selected.ID) ) = 0, Select(btnAdd),Select(btnLoadGrid))
Hello Reza, thank you very much for this great tutorial. I have the challenge of creating a trust relationship between an entry in a SharePoint list and a document in a folder/subfolder in a document library. Unfortunately, I haven't got the hang of it yet. Do you have a tip for me here?😉
Hi Reza, thanks for posting this super video - really informative and interesting!!! 👏😃👍 Looking forward to trying something like this out for a Lessons Learnings system at work.
HI Reza, thank a lot for great presentation. I'm interested in Patch function in 20:06 minute, I want to apply with Person column in Microsoft list, but it doesn't work as your way. Is there any thing needed here?
Hi Reza...great app! Will these type fields (Lookup and Choice fields) work just the same with a SQL table storage instead of SharePoint List? Thanks for all your professional and amazing apps!
Hey Reza, thank you for this video and all your videos (of which I have watched many :D)! At the moment I'm looking into changing 4 dataverse tables into Lists as my users will not have a Power Apps Premium license. Which is incredibly expensive, even for education. There are a lot of mixed opions online about whether or not using SharePoint Lists as a relational database (like in this video) is bad. To be honest I still can't see the big issue for regular apps. In my example I'll have about 100-150 "projects" maximum in 1 Projects List and each project has about 5 Tasks itself, so 750 max in total. There will be different Teams with their own projects = multiple Projects Lists with their own Tasks. All in seperated lists with their own List Permissions (Read/write). Honestly I think it's manageble with Lists. Though the internet seems to push me towards Dataverse (which we cannot pay for user to write to the dataverse tables). Do you think I should go for SharePoint Lists? Is it doable?
Hi Reza, I have a performance question for you. To connect projects and tasks screen, wouldn't be better to Navigate to Tasks screen and pass by context the selected item from your gallery, instead of calling gallery.selected from tasks as you do in 11:26? I got use to doing all navigations passing context variables among screens, but I don't know if it is a best practice or not.
Hey Reza, great video it's very informative! I was wondering if you happen to know if you can update the different choices in a choice field within a power app. As in add or remove a choice from a choice field column, which you usually do via microsoft Lists itself.
I do not have a video reference on this scenario and have not tried it so not sure. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
I believe you can update choice field with power automate. An alternative is to create a sharepoint list that will capture your choices. Then in power app link the drop down to the Sharepoint list instead. Then you can create a screen that display the Sharepoint list and have use add new or edit “choices”
Hi Reza, I think it very good and it’s helpful and I follow your instruction to create an application. But Would you please help me a little bit to show how to add a row number in the dynamic gallery ?
Most welcome! I do not have a video reference for dynamic row number and would have to try it out to provide guidance. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Hi @Reza Dorrani, Great video! However, I am getting a little stuck when updates are made to the grid. For example, with an already created record, if I update the values and select 'Save', the previous values are retained in the fields. How can I get the updates to stick when Save is selected?

Hi Reza, thanks for the video. Quick question on this. Given that multiple projects could have the same title in theory, is there a way to lookup to project ID rather than project title? I'm doing a similar 1:N app for a ticket system with comments, and I had it working when the ticket title was the lookup field in the comments list, but when I realized the duplication issue and switched to ID, I'm having issues getting the linked formulas to work. Wondering if the ID column has specific rules/attributes that make this problematic, but then not sure how to work around it to avoid the duplicate title issue. Thanks again for your videos. Very helpful.
Hi Reza, great video, is it possible to add/insert a new record with the same data type column from another sharepoint list to destination sharepoint list, something like in sql, insert into existing table from new table.. thank you
This video rocks and is very useful when creating a power app form for related sharePoint list. I also ran into a challenge. The save option does not work when a record is edited. How can we resolve this. Not, this is display immediately on the initial screen genterated automatically by the process.

Hello Reza!!, great job mate. I don't know what happened to one of my SharePoint list, in this I have an image column and an attachments column (default column), for some reason when a user creates a row and uploads an image this is duplicated in the attachments column.

Hey Reza, question about this solution. I recreated this solution. When I create a new form, and add a related task and save the task before I have submitted the form, the tasks in the tasks list do not have a value in the lookup column and so the relationship is not created. Do you have a solution for this scenario or did I miss something in the video? Thanks.
Hi Reza. You've taught me a ton since I started watching your channel a few months ago. I finally joined your channel as a silver member. If time permits, would you consider posting a follow-up video to this? Starting from the "Projects" list standard Board view in SharePoint (not in the Canvas App), I want to: 1) Click the "New" button, which starts editing a new Project item directly in the Canvas App. 2) Click an existing Project item, which starts editing that item directly in the Canvas App. I created the Canvas App the same way you did (i.e., NOT created via Integrate>Power Apps>Customize Forms in the header menu of the Projects list). So, this has created a challenge to figure out how to link them from the list interface. Thanks again!!

Hi Raza, Thanks for sharing this! It’s really helpful as always such detailed steps that make it so clear. Can I ask if there are any delegation issues as this has been an issue in the past. Also is there a way of dynamically getting data from multiple sharepoint sites which have the same list structure?
There are no delegation issues here. Unless you have more than 2000 tasks for a specific project. Dynamically getting data will run into delegation challenges and not something I have done any work on.

Hello Reza, thank you for this video. Since we don't use Dataverse, using relational data with SP is very necessary. However, I found one l issue. When I first opened the app , it was fine. Once I clicked on an item in the gallery(for example, customer 1) , even though I attempted to create a new item, the gallery still selected the customer 1, causing the second page, which uses relational data, to display the details associated with the customer 1. When I click the new , I expect the second page to be empty but it doesn't. Do you know how to resolve this issue? Without resolving this issue, I can't use it at work.
@@RezaDorrani Yes. When the app is open at first, there is no issue. But if you click one of existing items and then if you click new, you can see that the main gallery still selected the existing item that caused the second page which is the relational data page.
@@RezaDorrani Monday I will check out the form again since I have a meeting on Tuesday. Thank you for this video again. We don't use Dataverse, it is super helpful.
This is an awesome video. But the step at 23:06 where you move the "Clear" command to the "btnLoadGrid" button, breaks my setup. So I had to leave it as part of the Save button instead.

Mr. Dorrani, you are very talented. Thank you for sharing. I have a request for you or anyone else that is knowledgeable about the Power App you develop in this video. How would you program a two column search feature for your Tasks form. I tried the following code in the my rendition of the app forms gallery "Items" option, "Sort(Filter(colIDRPBCData, StartsWith(IDRPBCNumber, Input1.Value), StartsWith(POC, Input1.Value), varReset),ID, SortOrder.Descending)". Any help would be much appreciated. By the way I am going to subscribe to your channel.

Would you be willing to add a multi-column search box to the Tasks child form of the App in this video and re-post it. I have tried to tie a search search box on the child form to both collections, the Data and Updates, individually. I can complete the code with out errors but the filter function still does not work.

Hi there, thanks for the excellent video. Is it possible to reference a sharepoint lookup column on the tasks screen? What might the updatetask button syntax look like?
@@RezaDorrani If I had paid more attention, you answered my question in the video. I adapted the choices(Tasks.Priority) to the lookup field and it worked perfectly. I used the combobox control and its ideal for the number of choices vs dropdown. Its crazy how much time you can spend on basic solutions - ya dont know what ya dont know. Thank you for your awesome video!
Thanks, Reza. My text input control doesn't have a "Value" property and I can't find that in documentation. Is the "Default" property the same thing? Are we working with different versions?
Never mind. I just saw that you answered this earlier and said that Classic and Modern have different properties and Default is the same. Additionally, under Default, I needed to state the value as "ThisItem.'Project Lookup'.Value" rather than "ThisItem.Title" in order to get a result. I then turned on Modern to avoid similar issues ahead.
For my use case of this I am using a people picker column for the first column in the "tasks" list. It appears when patching to a lookup (people picker in my case) the btnUpdate gets selected by the onchange property in the people picker column after saving which causes the gridupdates collection to fill back up making it impossible to add a new "task". Is the lookup field causing an extra onchange by refilling its information?
I believe the culprit is combo box. But should work with this technique. Il have to recreate your scenario to know more. May be try posting your issue on forums powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani I downloaded your reference app and put a people picker instead of text and sure enough it broke the solution. Changed mine to text and it works. I will need to recreate the people picker control using one of the methods like office connector and then pass the information to a text field and populate the people picker on the list by patching it after. Definitely going to post this to the forums to see if anyone else has seen this with onchange in a combo box/people field
@@RobotRisingTech The reference app does not include people picker. A change may or may not be accurate + sometimes there could be workarounds. Forums will be a good option.

I can not add any new rows to my grid. I have no errors and everything seems to working except for the add button disabling after I make 1 change. I don’t know why it’s happening but I do know it has something to do with my combo box field for my people column and I know this b/c I spent hours testing it and figured out it does not do this and everything works perfectly in the app when I don’t use, change or even remove the combo box field all together but surely I should be able to have a combo box people field/column?!? I mean after all it updates & works correctly in my SPL but for some reason the combo box disables my add button. Please please any help or thoughts is greatly appreciated. Maybe it’s the way I have my combo box people field coded in my save patch function or btnupdate.

Question for you, if you are designing a form for users primarily using a desktop, do you prefer to make forms in an app like this or would you rather customize a list form in Power Apps?
Glad it was helpful!
I prefer the desktop one because it supports ALM. You can import export across different environments.
Hide the buttons - then add a select....... who would have thought ! Nice 💥💥 (I always pick up something new in each of your videos!) - Thank You
Boom!

Thank you very much Reza!! Just what I was looking for....
Only one thing left for me: a button to duplicate a record in the main list and all the related record in the secondary list.
Can you let me know one of your videos in which I learn to do that?
Most welcome! I dont think I have done duplication video for related records.
Hey Reza this is great, wasn't too sure about using the modern controls but more confident about them now. Have you ever done anything on cloning/copying records were list relationships are involved, such as if you wanted to use a project with its tasks as a template for people to get quickly up and running?
I have not tried cloning records with relationships.
Awesome tutorial. This helped me with a current project!!! Thank you!!!
You’re most welcome
Was struggling with lookup columns from a very long time. Hope this helps. Thanks Reza ❤

Brilliant video Reza. Just want to know if we can add row numbers to the gallery items and it updates when rows are deleted

Rezza, another great video. The information in this video is great! The more videos I watch, things are just starting to click more and more!
Great! Step by step, video by video, we keep learning together.
Another Info-Packed video. Really great insights. Loving the responsive tips along side as it's helping me finetune a Responsive App I'm working on now which is coming along nicely. I always look forward to your videos and I'm yet to be disappointed. Thanks for sharing.😀
Awesome! Thank You so much. So happy to hear the responsive aspects of the video are being appreciated.
@@RezaDorrani Yes, I'm actually enjoying building the Responsive App.
Great video! Thank you! I became a member so I could purchase, customize, and deploy quickly, as well as gain more knowledge & experience w/power apps so thank you! Quick question why does the search bar on Main screen not function? It seems like a simple straightforward function but for some reason I cannot get it to search my “projects” list in the side container . Is it possible the hidden button that is in the search box area causing issues w/the search functionality? Thanks again.
Most welcome!
Did you download and try the app?
@@RezaDorrani Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, I did. It’s up and running and I customized it for my specific need but the search function does not work. I have a similar app set up just the same as the main screen of your app and the search function works great no problem. I just can’t figure out why it won’t search. The 🔍 icon does nothing. I’ve checked all possibilities. Thank you!
I decided to watch another video of yours for setting up my search function. My lists are not large now but they will grown very quickly so I need to set it up accordingly. Thanks.
I have followed this is and created my own version a couple of months ago awesome tutorial !. I now need to add additional values in the Priority drop-down if I add these to the Drop Down in my SharePoint list will they Automatically appear in the Power App ?
Additionally if I add extra Columns to the SharePoint list will they automatically be available to us e in the App
They wont automatically be available. You would have to add them to your gallery or forms.
Thanks Raza for this wonderful teaching.
My pleasure
Many thanks Reza, I need to watch this fully. But in the intro I did not see a link to the submitted documents for each project. Can it be added.
The video use case is projects and tasks. It’s purely focused on list relationships.
Hi Reza, this tutorial was fantastic! It helped so much with my app creation. Would you be able to go into further detail about this functionality with a Person column? I would like to do exactly this but am having trouble displaying my Person chosen in a ComboBox after adding items or deleting rows from my gallery. How can I replicate these things with a selected Person?
Glad to hear that!
I have not tried with a person column so not sure about that. No current plans to explore it. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
@@RezaDorrani I have been looking on the forums (and posted my question) with no luck. Hopefully someone can find a solution soon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Reza, thank you so much. Why don’t you have to include the Priority choice/drop-down field under ShowColumns in your Patch function? Yours seems to still update the choice column in SharePoint but mine does not. 20:17
You will have to. Check 22:56
Always best to see entire video. Sometimes we do miss certain things.
Hi Reza I love your videos so easy to follow and have built several of your apps having never done any SharePoint so finding these videos extremely informative. I have tried and failed to use this relationship on a custom form, so because i'm using the SharePointIntegration data model to get the record. When i view the form the record is there so it all seems to be working, my issues is I have 2 drop downs and when i edit the fields i can't add value. It doesn't seem to save but i think it maybe something to do with drop downs. Also have lots of red circles when in power apps which can't be good. Obviously missing something and my very basic level of knowledge of the data model and functions is hampering me, really sorry to ask as i know your not here to support Sharepoint.
Thanks so much for watching and learning from the videos.
I cannot guess the error on custom forms without trying the scenario or replicating the issue.
I will recommend posting your issue on forums in case someone has experienced something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani Hi Reza I got it working by changing the relationship field from a lookup to the ID of the main list. This was shown in another one of your videos. sorry Didn't update post as was not expecting such a prompt response. I must say that your videos are the easiest and best videos on the internet. Thank you so much
Amazing, Reza...👍
I have a case in which many projects must be tracked saving all tasks, approvals, notes, files...
Must they be separated in different related lists and concatenate collections of max 2000 rows to avoid delegation problems?
Too many collections and too many relationships will hit performance of App. For lightweight use case SharePoint is good but beyond that you should consider Dataverse or SQL
This is great Reza! I may use this video as a demo for my management team to invest more into power apps.
Please do!
This came in at the right time. Thank you Reza

Hi Reza, this is fantastic thank you so much as always! I have built something for work which replaces projects with risks and tasks with treatments to lower the risk which works great but I have been wondering if there is a way to assign the tasks (or treatments in my case) to multiple projects? When I allow multiple selections on my list, it creates an incompatible comparison so is there a way I can get round this? Any help would be much appreciated!

I have not tried with a person column so not sure. I have done 4-5 grid videos and may have shown person in one of them. Try checking those.
I appreciate all your videos very much! I have built a wonderful app using this tutorial and now fine tuning. If I create a new parent item (which would not have any child records associated with it) and then go to the child screen to create a child record, is it possible to make the child gallery with the repeating table already have a blank row ready to fill in?

Hi Reza...great app! Will these type fields (Lookup and Choice fields) work just the same with a SQL table storage instead of SharePoint List? Thanks for all your professional and amazing apps!
SQL uses FK and PK type true relationship. Behavior would be similar.
no doubt you are a mind reader.
😉
Hey Reza, thank you for this video and all your videos (of which I have watched many :D)!
At the moment I'm looking into changing 4 dataverse tables into Lists as my users will not have a Power Apps Premium license. Which is incredibly expensive, even for education.
There are a lot of mixed opions online about whether or not using SharePoint Lists as a relational database (like in this video) is bad. To be honest I still can't see the big issue for regular apps. In my example I'll have about 100-150 "projects" maximum in 1 Projects List and each project has about 5 Tasks itself, so 750 max in total.
There will be different Teams with their own projects = multiple Projects Lists with their own Tasks. All in seperated lists with their own List Permissions (Read/write).
Honestly I think it's manageble with Lists.
Though the internet seems to push me towards Dataverse (which we cannot pay for user to write to the dataverse tables). Do you think I should go for SharePoint Lists? Is it doable?
Dataverse is the preferred option from a scalability perspective but for lightweight scenarios SharePoint can do the work
Awesome thanks for the video!! 👍🏼👍🏼👏👏 I'm going to implent this in a number of my apps.
Great 👍
Hi Reza, I have a performance question for you. To connect projects and tasks screen, wouldn't be better to Navigate to Tasks screen and pass by context the selected item from your gallery, instead of calling gallery.selected from tasks as you do in 11:26? I got use to doing all navigations passing context variables among screens, but I don't know if it is a best practice or not.
Yes, that is a better option. I have done many videos on performance and best practices.
Great Content Thank you Reza 🙏🏽

Hey Reza, great video it's very informative! I was wondering if you happen to know if you can update the different choices in a choice field within a power app. As in add or remove a choice from a choice field column, which you usually do via microsoft Lists itself.
I do not have a video reference on this scenario and have not tried it so not sure. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
@@RezaDorrani Alright, thank you!
I believe you can update choice field with power automate.
An alternative is to create a sharepoint list that will capture your choices. Then in power app link the drop down to the Sharepoint list instead.
Then you can create a screen that display the Sharepoint list and have use add new or edit “choices”
Hi Reza, I think it very good and it’s helpful and I follow your instruction to create an application. But Would you please help me a little bit to show how to add a row number in the dynamic gallery ?

Hi @Reza Dorrani,
Great video! However, I am getting a little stuck when updates are made to the grid. For example, with an already created record, if I update the values and select 'Save', the previous values are retained in the fields. How can I get the updates to stick when Save is selected?

Hi Reza, thanks for the video. Quick question on this. Given that multiple projects could have the same title in theory, is there a way to lookup to project ID rather than project title? I'm doing a similar 1:N app for a ticket system with comments, and I had it working when the ticket title was the lookup field in the comments list, but when I realized the duplication issue and switched to ID, I'm having issues getting the linked formulas to work. Wondering if the ID column has specific rules/attributes that make this problematic, but then not sure how to work around it to avoid the duplicate title issue. Thanks again for your videos. Very helpful.
You can decide which column you want to lookup on.
Hi Reza, great video, is it possible to add/insert a new record with the same data type column from another sharepoint list to destination sharepoint list, something like in sql, insert into existing table from new table.. thank you
Probably possible but not something I have tried.
This video rocks and is very useful when creating a power app form for related sharePoint list. I also ran into a challenge. The save option does not work when a record is edited. How can we resolve this. Not, this is display immediately on the initial screen genterated automatically by the process.

Hey Reza, question about this solution. I recreated this solution. When I create a new form, and add a related task and save the task before I have submitted the form, the tasks in the tasks list do not have a value in the lookup column and so the relationship is not created.

If time permits, would you consider posting a follow-up video to this?
Starting from the "Projects" list standard Board view in SharePoint (not in the Canvas App), I want to:
1) Click the "New" button, which starts editing a new Project item directly in the Canvas App.
2) Click an existing Project item, which starts editing that item directly in the Canvas App.
I created the Canvas App the same way you did (i.e., NOT created via Integrate>Power Apps>Customize Forms in the header menu of the Projects list). So, this has created a challenge to figure out how to link them from the list interface. Thanks again!!

Hello Reza, thank you for this video. Since we don't use Dataverse, using relational data with SP is very necessary. However, I found one l issue.
When I first opened the app , it was fine.
Once I clicked on an item in the gallery(for example, customer 1) , even though I attempted to create a new item, the gallery still selected the customer 1, causing the second page, which uses relational data, to display the details associated with the customer 1.
When I click the new , I expect the second page to be empty but it doesn't.
Do you know how to resolve this issue? Without resolving this issue, I can't use it at work.

When new is clicked set a variable and accordingly set the grid on second screen.
@@RezaDorrani Yes. When the app is open at first, there is no issue. But if you click one of existing items and then if you click new, you can see that the main gallery still selected the existing item that caused the second page which is the relational data page.

Hi there, thanks for the excellent video. Is it possible to reference a sharepoint lookup column on the tasks screen? What might the updatetask button syntax look like?
Yes possible. For giving the syntax, I would have to try it out :)
@@RezaDorrani If I had paid more attention, you answered my question in the video. I adapted the choices(Tasks.Priority) to the lookup field and it worked perfectly. I used the combobox control and its ideal for the number of choices vs dropdown. Its crazy how much time you can spend on basic solutions - ya dont know what ya dont know. Thank you for your awesome video!
Thanks, Reza. My text input control doesn't have a "Value" property and I can't find that in documentation. Is the "Default" property the same thing? Are we working with different versions?
Never mind. I just saw that you answered this earlier and said that Classic and Modern have different properties and Default is the same. Additionally, under Default, I needed to state the value as "ThisItem.'Project Lookup'.Value" rather than "ThisItem.Title" in order to get a result. I then turned on Modern to avoid similar issues ahead.
Great
For my use case of this I am using a people picker column for the first column in the "tasks" list.
It appears when patching to a lookup (people picker in my case) the btnUpdate gets selected by the onchange property in the people picker column after saving which causes the gridupdates collection to fill back up making it impossible to add a new "task".
Is the lookup field causing an extra onchange by refilling its information?
I believe the culprit is combo box. But should work with this technique. Il have to recreate your scenario to know more.
May be try posting your issue on forums
powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani I downloaded your reference app and put a people picker instead of text and sure enough it broke the solution.
Changed mine to text and it works. I will need to recreate the people picker control using one of the methods like office connector and then pass the information to a text field and populate the people picker on the list by patching it after.
Definitely going to post this to the forums to see if anyone else has seen this with onchange in a combo box/people field

@@syssslllik I haven't opened a thread but I ended up as a work around making a people picker of my own (just a o365 user search using a text control) and passing the email address/display name/claim from that to a people picker field.
Great and good informative video. And i noticed one issue that onchange function cannot be written for checkbox controls. I have recently tried by watching your previous edit grid power apps video. How to overcome it? I hope this will be useful to others too😊
You will need to be specific. Which checkbox modern or classic?
Modern has options for OnCheck and OnUncheck now which can be used.
@@RezaDorrani I have used Modern check box . I tried both properties onCheck and onUnCheck. But for others controls onchange working fine. But for Modern check box it was not working 😕 any solution?
@@nagarjun572 It should work but not something I have tried hence not sure.
Thank you, it’s veryyyyy useful VDO

Reza - as always great video - I'm struggling with the PowerFX on the add button for the grid, I have this -
Patch(
'Item Details Receiving',
Defaults('Item Details Receiving'),
{'Item/SKU': "New Item/Sku"}, 'PO#':{Value:RecordsGallery1.Selected.'PO#', Id:RecordsGallery1.Selected.ID}}) -
it likes everything except the PO#. The internal column name is PO_0023_, but it doesn't like that either. That is my lookup column.
Most welcome!

@@RezaDorrani finally got it after playing around a bit. This is working great! Thank you!
Hi Reza, I have followed this step-by-step and the app is working, except the Grid Screen scroll bar - I just can't seem to get this to show on a tablet (even when testing in the browser), any ideas how to get the scroll bar to show or what to check?

Reza can we use excel instead of share point for getting relationship in power apps.
You could use any data source.
The lookup column option is good if the number of items in the list is not expected to exceed 5000 items. Otherwise, it's best to use dataverse or SQL tables.
Column indexing may help
What happens with lookups if you exceed 5000 records? That's not a lot of records. Is there a better alternative to lookups?
Hi Reza, what can I do if I work with two Excel sheets instead of the two Sharepoint lists? As I am missing the ID for the respective collections.
Im not sure about that.
Reza tq so much, this help a lot
If only it had a multi-select people combo box in the grid 😅 haven’t had much luck via the forums
Complex - it would make the video complex.
I will cover those scenarios in Power Platform Training sessions where I have hours of time.
Reza, I'm working on the Choices column for priority...when I run the formula up top, I get the right values, however, when I run the application, the choices container is blank. Any ideas?
No idea
@@RezaDorrani I figured it out...my "add field" data was pre-populated...once I deleted all of them and followed what you had shown, it worked perfectly. Don't know why it pulled everything over.
I'm getting stuck on the Add button. When I click it, I receive this error message: "network error when using patch function the specified column is generated by the server". Any idea on how to fix this?

Hi Reza! I am having an issue that I cannot find an answer for and I was hoping you might be able to assist me. I added a people field column with a classic choice box to my grid/gallery view. When I update in the app everything updates in my SPL accordingly and saves in the app too, however, my add button stays disabled from the point of hitting the save button on and I only have my save button available to me from that point on. I can continue to make changes to the fields and hit save all I want & it will save and update in my SPL too but the add button stays disabled after that point going forward and all I have is my save button. I can not add any new rows to my grid. I have no errors and everything seems to working except for the add button disabling after I make 1 change. I don’t know why it’s happening but I do know it has something to do with my combo box field for my people column and I know this b/c I spent hours testing it and figured out it does not do this and everything works perfectly in the app when I don’t use, change or even remove the combo box field all together but surely I should be able to have a combo box people field/column?!? I mean after all it updates & works correctly in my SPL but for some reason the combo box disables my add button. Please please any help or thoughts is greatly appreciated. Maybe it’s the way I have my combo box people field coded in my save patch function or btnupdate. I believe every thing is correct on the combobox properties (items, display fields & search fields etc.) I’ve spent hours trying to figure out why. I don’t want to have to go w/out a people field. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
I cannot guess what the cause of the error is without reproducing your scenario.

Hi Reza, love your videos they're very informative. I'm currently having an issue and have searched all over to find a solution but haven't succeeded, perhaps I'm searching the wrong thing. In my SharePoint List I have a status column that is either 'complete' or 'incomplete', and then I also have 5 other columns for example that get their inputs from a form that is already connected to the SharePoint. I want to be able to make it so that the status column will automatically update to 'complete' once all the other 5 columns have been completed with their inputs from forms. I have the form so the user can go back an update their entries and so eventually all 5 columns will say 'Completed' at which point i want the status column to automatically update to 'complete'. Any help would be massively appreciated as I'm struggling and very new to this haha. Thank you
I do not have a video reference on this scenario and would have to try it out to provide guidance. I recommend checking or posting your query on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorraniI have tried to find something similar on forums but the closest one is a calculation one based off what the number is, the status changes. I did try to use that one as a template and just change the number part of the expression to what i have in my columns however i could not get it to work. That could be due to me not knowing exactly what i am doing though or not, i'm not sure.
@@RezaDorrani I have also asked the question in forums but not received an answer as of yet
@@Tom70898 Until I try this scenario I wont be able to help. Forums would be your best bet. You can also follow up and post your issues there.
