Modifying default input form for Sharepoint List

Question

I have a Sharepoint list that I am modifying, and my customers like the default input form (image below) but are requesting I add a few fields to this/make minor formatting changes to it. They do not want the layout of a customized form in Power Apps. My question(s) are:

1. Is it possible to modify the below input form with a few additional fields (that are already found in my list but not currently displayed in the form)? If not...

2. Is there a way I can use Power Apps to modify the default form layout below, adding the fields that I'm looking to add?

I'm new to maintaining Sharepoint lists and using Power Apps, so a simple solution is preferred here, if at all possible.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Display hidden columns in your form

If you are sure that the columns already exist in your list, then you can make sure they show up in the form by doing the following:

• Navigate to the list settings
• Click Advanced settings

• Make sure the Allow management of content types? is set to Yes

• In the list settings, click on the content type. For example, Item:

• Click on the field name you want to display on your form. For example, Names:

• Now make sure the field is either Required or Optional. If you want to keep a field Hidden - select Hidden

Modifying the form using Power Apps

Since your form is very simple, there is no harm trying to use a Power App form as a proof of concept. In order to try it:

• Navigate to the list settings
• Click Form settings

• Click Customize in PowerApps

• Save and Publish! your new Power App form

If you don't like your new Power App form, you can always switch back to using the default SharePoint form by going to the list settings > forms > Use the default SharePoint form:
