SharePoint List Connected to PowerApps

Question

I have a PowerApps canvas app that I created and within that app, it connects to a SharePoint list. But when I click on New or Edit in the SharePoint list, it still uses the out of the box SharePoint form. I see an "Integrate with PowerApps" option on my SharePoint list, but I already built the PowerApps form and don't want to recreate. How can I have the New and Edit command connect to that PowerApps form?

Answer 1

I don't think you can import already created Power Apps Forms (even connected to a list) into a SharePoint list. SPO Custom forms are embedded in the list/library itself.

1. Create Custom List/Library Forms by using the link in the menu bar as shown below

2. And then update "Form Settings" of the list/library

Answer 2

According to my research and testing, Canvas Power Apps cannot be integrated with the SharePoint list as a custom form.

Canvas Power App:

Pros:

• Design for Desktop, Mobile, or both using Responsive configuration
• Full screen display mode
• Native mobile integration using Power App phone app

Cons:

• Unable to use SharePoint Integration object (list actions) to interact with form
• Forced to open form in new tab

SharePoint list form Power App

Pros:

• Use SharePoint Integration object (list actions) to interact with form
• Open form in ‘Panel’ mode without leaving page

Cons:

• No full screen mode
• Awkward interface for mobile device

If you want to customize forms, you can do it through the SharePoint list form Power App.
