    Great tips, thank you! You may have saved my sanity with this! PowerApps take me back to the “bad old days” when Microsoft refused to accept the web standards and kept trying to re-invent html and css!

    If you go to the advanced Tab on the right pane the X and Y fields display the positioning in Row and Column numbers. I use this to check and adjust my row /column positions.

    Thank you, so much for posting this video. It has proven immensely helpful for me in positioning the various field controls on the New, Edit, and View forms. Honestly, you should submit this guidance to Microsoft and have them officially publish it on their web site. 👍👋

    Hi mate, if you have want to select all of a forms data keys and card values to change the font size etc, click the form and change the layout from vertical to horizontal or vice versa then click the undo button once, it may look like only the first card is selected but all of them are. Cheers

    As a C# developer, hats off to anyone not killing themselves working with PowerApps - development of forms is sooo much easier and predictable with c#. Things don't move around you can design the form much, much, much quicker.

    Thanks for the feedback! As far as changing the data entry fields, just insert whatever type of control you want into that Datacard, but make sure that you change the form to send that value to SharePoint instead of sending the text field back to SharePoint. It's hard to type out what I'm saying, I'm sorry if that didn't make sense lol

    Thanks alot for responding so quickly, i was able to understand half the part - change the control type- deleting the existing text firld and adding the new control type from the input menu, but what do you mean by the remaining - how do i make the form send the value back to sharepoint.

    So if you select the entire data card, you'll see a property called "update" in the advanced properties pane... make sure it is set to your new control's selected value.

    Can we change the style of multiple data cards single time? or we have to format one by one?

    hi! great question.... there is a comment below from user Lain Ray...… if you select the entire form, then change the layout from vertical to horizontal or vice versa then click the undo button once, it will select all Data Cards and you'll be able to format everything at once. I've tried this trick a couple times, and it works great if you want to change everything in each data card to be formatted the same way. Unfortunately, if you want to make all Title values, and all data card values formatted differently but consistently, i have not found a way to do that easily outside of dynamic formatting as explained in the video

    Wish they had the format painter option or just highlight all the fields to change the colour size etc. All of this is so long winded compared to other Microsoft programs
