Sharepoint List does not get the data from power apps when editing an item

Question

Hi everyone, I am working on a Sharepoint list in connection with the Power Apps to customize the form. The goal is that other users can do data entry and modification easily by accessing the form. When creating a new item, the form pops up as expected with the customized fields and entry options - however when i go on an already existing item, the side window opens but it "freezes" trying to access the data from the form ("getting your data"). The source is correctly connected as I can see the data I am expecting when I am working on the form within the power apps application. We have already created very similar lists and have never incurred this issue... I have all necessary permissions as I am the owner of the list. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this so the List/power app connection works properly?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Maximilian L ,

From a SharePoint perspective, you can try the following:

1, Check the data types of the fields in the SharePoint list and ensure that they are supported by Power Apps. Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/connections/connection-sharepoint-online#lists

2, If the data types are supported, then try refreshing the data source in Power Apps and republishing the form.

3, If the issue persists, try creating a new list and form to see if the problem occurs again. If none of the above works, I suggest you go to the Power Apps community to discuss it and see if the problem occurs in Power Apps.
