Thanks for the video.
For anyone else who had issues - Please read:
I did have an issue at the end where the new app still updated the old sharepoint list. To resolve this, I opened the new app in edit mode. Removed the old sharepoint connection, this caused a host of errors , I then re-added the connection to the new sharepoint list using the exact same name. It now works perfectly.
Thanks again.
For those who are watching this video after the new Power App Interface, you won't have the back arrow option to check the version and go to the other screen where you can export the package, so what you need to do is to Click on the Share icon at the top-right coreder, that is going to take you to the screen when you can export the App 😁
You saved my weekend
This is the best tutorial I have ever seen you really saved the day! thank you!!
Hi ! Thank you so much for this great content.
Very helpful I appreciate and I subscribe to see more =)
Excellent video and very nicely explained. Thank you so much. I was looking for long time and you made the day!!
Dhruvin, your video explanation was excellent. I followed the steps, and the migration process was successful. However, when I attempt to input data into the production list, it seems to still be saving the data into the development list. Additionally, when I replace the dataset in the newly migrated PowerApps, it resets all the data cards and removes customization. How can I effectively handle this situation?
Great video.... just what I needed. Much appreciated!!!
Fantastic Tutorial. Thank you for sharing. You just saved me a whole day's worth of work
I was looking for this exact solution. Thanks a lot for this informative video.
Many thanks Dhruvin, exactly what I needed. Cheers.
Great tutorial! Saved my day!
Great!!👍👍
@@iamdhruvinshah Hey, I'm now seeing my copied form still has the old data connection. Form is all formula errors - I have added the new data source (new SharePoint list) although I have to manually update thousands of formulas - do you know a way to update the entire form (all default values / all card values) to the new data source?
Just what I needed! Appreciate your efforts man 👍👍
Glad to hear it!
Excelent. Thank you Sir!
Good one- first time I came across such a one👍👍👍
Great! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much....God bless you
Hi Dhruvin, very well explained. I am working on a project where I had to add some columns to sharepoint lists, change the dateformat, add a automate script, modify an existing automate script, modify views and webparts and also modify the power apps form. What would be the best way to export and import these changes to production?
simply awesome
Hi Dhruvin, very nice video. I have to do the same but with a different tenant, how can I change the dataset settings?
Hi Im just wondering what are the changes to be made if I try to import the app into a new List (different name) but same tenant, also having the same columns
Hi @Dhruvin,
I was able to utilize your video back in June 2021 to move a copy of my custom list form, however now (October 2021) it seems that PowerApps is not letting me change the data source to a new list on the destination site (with an identical name as the starting location).
Do you have any advice or references you could point me to help with this issue, while I re-work this custom form as an App, since they are easier to package and deploy in additional environments?
Thank you for your videos!
Really appreciate..
What if I use SQL table as backend database. How can we change url for SQL table.
I don't find any embedded property to replace.
But I find connectionRefences
Thank you my good man.
Any time!
Hi thanks for an well explained video. I have tried and manage to move from tenant A to tenant B but how do I manage updates to the form in tenant A ie how do I move the updated form (new fields or other items)?? When I try this procedure the second time I can't make it work. Do I need to remove the app from tenant B before making an update??
Hi Dhruvin. A very good tutorial. I have one question, please. As is often the case, I have renamed the lists to friendly names. When I'm exporting, should I use the internal name or the friendly name? Thank you
The author did not show editing of the list item in the production environment. It turned out to be non-working for me, because for some reason SharePoint Integration turned out to be half-non-working, namely the SharePointIntegration parameter.Selected remains empty when an element is selected and the edit form endlessly "Waits for data".
Fixed: Changed the "Item" parameter in the item editing form from the value "SharePointIntegration.Selected" to "LookUp('Vehicle Registry';ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID)", since SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID remained working. And also changed the connections to the new site.
Thanks Dhruvin. Is there a Power Apps admin powershell that can do this steps ?
Hi brother, please upload a video that how to connect power app into SharePoint list with out customised (Integrated process).
I want to create a form through power apps and it should be appear in SharePoint list when I click+New icon.
HI Dhruvin, Thanks for video, but when i moved my customized power apps form, its still pointing to old SharePoint list, if i delete that list & connect with production list, all custom function has been removed. Please help.
Any ideas on how to automate this if we are migrating hundreds of custom SP forms?
Hello Dhruvin tried your way of exporting and importing it worked but the issue is in the production submitted records showing the same record .Could you please respond if there is any resolution to this
i get errors lookup still pointing ot the old list, hidden selected sharepoint integration errors.
The video is not working as expected. In a test scene, author just opened a customize form. But the point is, that the result is not saving on current list, but on pervious one. I sow, that more user has same issue, so author should propose the solution for this issue.
Thank you very much !!! It is very useful for me. I have a scenario like I have created a SharePoint customized power apps form using the name of List A. Here the business wants to change the name of the list name to List B at production site. If I change the name to List B is there any effect on power apps form. If I change the name to List B is parallelly change the data source at power apps form ? Could you please tell me how to do this scenario ???.... Thanks in Advance !!!!!!!
In your video you cover the case where the app is embedded in the list but what if the app was not created from the list as a source? Then there is no "embeddedapp" in the json. Do you also have a solution for transferring such an app with linked list to another tenant?
this Json script is different now ,i cant find embedded word ,any solution
Doesn't it work for updates? I dont see my app in the list of apps I have while selection. I only see my standalone Canvas Apps. Is that a limitation?
Hello dhruv I m facing issues with deployment on the cert environment please specify the different name can you please help me out
Thanks for the video - The process as outlined in the video worked smoothly but when I used the app to create an item, the item was created in the old source list rather than the new destination list. I see when I unzip (with 7zip) the .msapp file inside the export zip there are references to the siteid/listid/siteUrl of the old source there - do those need to be updated as well? I tried that but got an error when attempting to open it, so 7zip may have corrupted the file. Or is there a way to manually change the destination of the save button...I see the SharePointIntegration component but there's no site url in its properties. Insert shrug emoji.
Noticed that just above the embeddedApp there is "dataSets" and "tableName" ... I replaced the siteId and listId there also, but still didn't work. But I was able to create a new connection in the powerapp and have the form use the new connection as the data source.
I think you forgot to change data set in the json file, because after import the package the data source is pointing to the original site
When we need solution package? Which one is more professional and suggested way of moving app..
Hi Dhruvin, have you tried this recently? Microsoft seems to have change the structure of the json file and the parameter names and values have changed also. Can you please make a new video? 've tried with no success. Thanks
what if i have to import in same tanent but different site, its giving error an app already exist with the name, can your pls help to resolve this error
Kindly suggest me sir why we use this method to development? it's too easy to create new customization form in PowerApps through SharePoint list and so easy to make it. kindly elaborate this method what will it be useful for?
Hi Dhruvin, I was going through this video. Is this still valid in year 2024? or, there is updated way to do this? Please suggest
somone please help, i cant edit row items when following this procedure
Nice video thanks for that. I am trying to list my powerapps forms with powershell so i can clean any up but they do not list with the commandlet Get-PowerApp which only shows full fat power apps and not forms. Any ideas? It would be nice to keep the environment clean :)
Thanks again for the vid.
I will try to make one new series on Power Apps PowerShell soon. Thanks
Great Video Dhruvin. All the export and import part works great, however when I edit items, it still point to the old list although I am editing on the new one. Can you please let me know if I am missing anything. I have double/triple checked the json file.
Data connection was pointing to old list?
Same issue have you found the root cause of it @sudhamsh kadudas
Hi dhruvin great video
Can we do this using flows to automate this process
I recommend to export and import flow separately if you have less number of flow!
Hi Dhruvin, Thanks for explanation. When we have fresh deployment we can follow the approach. What about the incremental changes and how to deploy the changes interms of new column and form changes. Please suggest
Hi I also look for an anwer to this questiion.
Hi, Thank you for the video to Export and Import Customized SharePoint Form. I followed all the steps. It did migrate to the new list but in destination PowerApps Data source is still connected to Source list Data Source. If I'll will delete the source list data source and add destination list data source from destination powerapps it is asking to replace all data card. I don't want to redesign my form on destination list. Is there a way to change the data source without loosing the data cards?
I am seeing this issue too
? Did you find a solution for this?
I haven't tried this yet; however, my thought is to create an app in the production environment with the proper connections to the SharePoint list, export this app, open it as shown in this video and then compare that with the exported app from the sandbox.
For me, it appears that the entries under "connectionReferences" contain the entries that I need to copy over from the temporary production app to the new development
Just found this Blog that has something similar to my suggestion, not as easy to follow as Dhruvin's video, but I think clear enough to understand between this video and the Blog entry
www.microland.com/blogs/powerapps-customizations
This is great Tutorial. But after migration to Prod you must delete the old data connection and add the New data connection. I can see the Lists are still poiting to the old site not Prodcution site. Once you delete the old lists, add the List from Production site and then Publish the form then It will start saving data to the Production(Destination site).
How did you changed the data connection to new list, can you please explain?
Hi Dhurvin i hava one question I have exported and imported one app development site to production site again have some changes that app development site how I can promote that changes to production let me know
You need to regenerate the package from development. At that time select Update option.
Then re-import the package to Production!
Imported after that same app updated or creat new app
@@bavajidoriginti4974 update same app
Ok thanks for spending your time Dhurvin
Seems like some of the instructions are missing
I followed the tutorial, now my production form is updating the development environment form, what a joke
it was great but u too fast specially the file copy and past things still confiuse
Kindly suggest me sir why we use this method to development? it's too easy to create new customization form in PowerApps through SharePoint list and so easy to make it. kindly elaborate this method what will it be useful for?
