In a Canvas app, an Edit Form Screen is a type of screen that allows the user to edit or update the details of a record from a data source.
Here are the steps to create Edit Form Screen in a Canvas app:
- Open Canvas app in Power Apps Studio and select the “Screens” option from the left-hand side menu.
- Click on the “New Screen” button and select the “Edit form” option from the dropdown menu.
- In the “Data source” dropdown, select the data source that we want to edit or update.
- Choose the fields that we want to include on the form by clicking on the “Add field” button.
- Customize the layout of the Edit Form by adding controls like labels, text boxes, images, and other data controls. Arrange them on the screen in the way we want.
- If want to add interactions to the screen, such as buttons to submit or cancel changes, we can add those as well.
- Save Edit Form and test it by running Canvas app.
When a user selects the record they want to edit from a list or gallery on a previous screen, the Edit Form Screen will display the existing details of the record in text boxes or other controls, allowing the user to make changes. The user can then submit the changes by clicking on a button, which updates the data source with the new information. If the user chooses to cancel the changes, they can do so by clicking on a “Cancel” button, which returns them to the previous screen without saving any changes.
