Using Microsoft Lists VS using Microsoft Dataverse in a Power App

I had to step away from a proof of concept I was working on.  Now that I have returned, I have some concerns and puzzles. I thought I had created a Microsoft List from scratch for this proof of concept to be used by a Microsoft Power App.  But after looking closely at the Power App, I am not so sure of what is going on.  Maybe you can tell me what is going on. I have created a Microsoft List and I created a Power App to interact with it.  Here is the header of the Power App loaded in the Power Studio:

The App is full of data and when tested seems to run properly.  When I investigate what its database connection is, I see this icon on the left side:

I am shocked that clicking on this icon does not reveal what I expect it to show.  I expect it to show that I am using a Microsoft List as a database source.  Instead, I see this:

This is not as I expected.  I notice that the name of the database is "x300 Proof of Concepts" whilst I remember creating my Microsoft List as "x300 Proof of Concept" (without the s at the end).  And when I bring up my Microsoft Lists I see the List that I expect to find.

While the Microsoft List "x300 Proof of Concept" looks similar.  I do not think it is exactly the same thing.  How can I find the other database and how can I assign my Microsoft Power App to the other data soucr, the Microsoft List?

    Dear respected William,

    Good day!!

    I understand your concern that Microsoft Lists is not showing the data as a source connected to a Power App you created but since the concern is related to Microsoft Power Apps, I suggest you post your concern in the related community Power Apps Community - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) to get the detailed technique support from the experts who are familiar with the icon not showing the expected results.

    Apologies for redirecting you to a different community as the members in the category posted focus on the users with the Microsoft 365 and out-of-the-box features and have limited knowledge on the Power Apps platform, so to get the fast and better assistance for your scenario, we have redirected you to the correct community.

    In addition, I will keep this thread open so that MVPs in this community may share their ideas and other possible workarounds on your requirement.

    Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!

    Best Regards,

    Mia
