Use Copilot's form fill assistance feature in model-driven apps
Copilot provides form fill assistance for model-driven apps. This means that users receive suggestions, generated by AI, for fields in main forms. This feature makes it easier and faster to enter data. These suggestions are based on the user's usage of the app, what information is already available in the form, and their frequently used data. The suggestions are entirely optional, and don't get saved until the user accepts them.
Important
- This feature is generally available in Dynamics 365 apps.
- This feature is a preview feature in Power Apps.
- Preview features aren’t meant for production use and may have restricted functionality.
- Preview features are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.
- Due to high demand, this feature may be unavailable intermittently. If the feature is unavailable, please try again later.

Copilot assistance is available, in English only, for all model-driven apps on the web where the modern, refreshed look is turned on. Suggestions are generated for fields in main forms only.

Use form fill assistance
Copilot assistance for filling forms generates suggestions for text, numeric, choice, and date fields in main forms in model-driven apps. Suggestions are generated only for the tab that is open. They are presented inline in the form.
Suggestions are entirely optional and aren't saved in the app until you accept them.
To accept a specific suggestion, hover over the field, and then select Accept. Alternatively, select the field, and then select the Enter key.
To accept all suggestions on the open tab of the form, on the notification bar, select Accept all.
To replace a suggestion with a different value, select the field and start typing to overwrite the suggestion. Alternatively, select the field, select the Backspace or Delete key, and then start typing.
If you have unsaved suggestions in a form and try to navigate away, you get a prompt asking if you want to discard those suggestions. The suggestions are only saved when you accept them. You can continue navigating away or stay on the form to review your pending suggestions. You can also select Do not show again to avoid being prompted in the future.
