PowerApp forms get stuck on "Getting your data..."
Some, but not all of my SharePoint Forms that are built using PowerApps are getting stuck saying (Getting your data...". The strange thing is that sometimes the data will load then this will happen, or I can click out of the form and reopen it and then it will work. Anyone experiencing a similar issue?Introducing "Request sign-off" - an approval flow that requires no set up
We are happy to announce a new feature in SharePoint called "Request sign-off". The goal is to provide you an easy way to send an item for approval to someone else. This feature enables an open approval process that allows you to easily record whether or not a document or list item was approved or not. There is no setup required. Request sign-off makes use of SharePoint's integration with Microsoft Flow. You can use it by selecting a file or list item (but not a folder), and then pulling down the Flow menu in the modern library or list UI, and selecting "Request sign-off". This flow will appear alongside any other custom flow that you or others may have added to the library. Once it is invoked, Request sign-off will create a new text column in your library called "Sign-off status". This column will record the state of your request. It works just like any other text column, you can sort, filter or group by it to organize your library. On invocation, this will tell you that it will send an approval request on your behalf, and ask your consent. Once this is provided, you can pick one or more approvers, and write a message to them for your approval request. If you add more than one approver, any one of them can approve your request: The person you sent the approval to will receive an approval request. This will be an actionable message on clients that support it (meaning you can approve it directly from within Outlook). The approver can also provide some comments along with their decision. There will also be a link included that lets the approver view the item in question: The sign-off status column is then updated with the decision, and the person who sent the approval request will receive an email with the comments: By saving you the trouble of setting up a flow and creating a new column to track status, we hope that this feature will make it easy to add a lightweight approval process to your libraries and lists. We expect this feature to start rolling out to our customers in targeted release (previously called first release) after April 9. Barring any issues we will continue to roll it out to the rest of our customers in two phases late April and early May.
Update SharePoint list with Excel Items
I've been working on this for some time, it seems like it should be easy but has proven to stump me. I have a SharePoint list I use to track workplace safety incidents. I have an excel sheet (set up as a table) that is downloaded from WCB's website. I want to take certain cells from the excel sheet (4 columns) and update that information on the SharePoint list using a commonality between the two. In this case, the commonality would be the WCB claim number. I would like the flow to be manually triggered. Can anyone offer some help?

I've watched quite a few PowerApps videos this weekend and feel I have enough knowledge to try my hand at customizing some forms this coming week. However, something very basic escapes me and I didn't see it addressed in the vids I have watched thus far. In InfoPath or visual basic like environments I have used in the past (e.g. Access modules), it was easy to update a field via a button push event (or clicking some button-like graphic). Something like... Status.Value = "Complete" This does not seem as straightforward in PowerApps. In the form below, I want a quick way to mark a task as done, by clicking on a "button". I would probably replace the Status dropdown with a read-only field or label eventually. I figured this formula should work, but nope. What am I doing wrong.
Hide or show field based on another field value
I would like to have the user make a selection from a SP choice field, and have other fields either get hidden or displayed based on that selection. Is this scenario possible? When user selects Option 1 in the first field, "Additional Text entry field 1" is displayed, and "Additional Text entry field 2" is hidden. Choice Field Option 1 Option 2 Additional Text entry field 1 Additional Text entry field 2
