[@minstreltokunbo]

Hello Reza, thank you for the video!! Kindly review my questions below: -How do you disable the approver from editing the submitted form when they open the firm to review? -How do you create a *add form* within the submitted form, to enable the approver and the submitter add new form as many times as possible forms to create trail updates just like a CRM or emails trails.

[@RezaDorrani]

For each of the data cards you do not want approver to edit, check if status is pending and user is approver, if yes then set card mode to view. A form control is only related to one data source. If you need to add more forms and relate then design would be very different from what is showcased in the video. I have done few videos on related lists and Dataverse based.

[@tomanforever]

​@@RezaDorrani How would the formula be? I tried to construct this but it does not work. The Displaymode formula for my datacard is: If(!IsBlank(LookUp(Database,Approver.Email = User().Email)),DisplayMode.View,DisplayMode.Edit)

Your tutorials are so easy to follow but yet powerful, thank you so much Reza! I have few questions, which you might be able to solve easily: 1) Could you inform, if it also works to put in a team mailbox as the approver (or multiple approvers as alternative)? 2) Is it possible to pull an Excel report for all tasks (regardless of status)? 3) Is it possible to add history to each task (e.g. sent for approval on 03.03.2021; approved on 06.03.2021?) If too complicated, please tell me - I will then try to find some additional training in this regard :)

[@RezaDorrani]

1 - I don't think it works with team's mailbox. 2 - Possible. You could use flow to query Dataverse Tables for Approvals to get data. 3 - Possible. I have done videos on approval history. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooqoaIGOiamDgLs

Your assigned to column is multi select person type hence table. You are comparing it with a text value. It should throw the error :) Look to check if User().Email in Assigned to column value.

Thanks Reza!! Is it possible to reassign task and track the approval status/comments in this approach?

I have the assigned to field. You can show that in the form. The approver can use that to reassign to another user. You can call the flow from Power Apps once approver reassigns & submits the form.

Hi Reza thanks for sharing knowledge. Quick question can we use this form for more that 5000 item list ?

[@RezaDorrani]

Yes, you can. As long as delegation is handled. Check my playlist on delegation.

Hi Sir, I would say that I'm a fan of all of your video and I learned a lot. I made a sample power apps application and everything is fine however there is one thing I can't figure out on how to filter all the submitted tickets of those user's (ie. userA and userB) under me (ie. supervisorA) by the way I have person field(for user who submitted the ticket) in my Sharepoint lists. hope I did not confuse you with my question :) Thank you

[@RezaDorrani]

I am confused :) I will have to look at your App in action to provide guidance. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

[@felixmatusinio6438]

Thank you for your reply. I think what I'm trying to achieve is the Office365Users.DirectReporting... I want to filter out the user's ticket direct reporting to me.

Hey Reza, great video, thanks! I have been working on a form app where on first page I have 2 combobox to fill in names, then that name goes to the form and fills in for Employee Name. That name is coming from a sql db that is connected with other data about the employee so I have them in the form to be auto filled but after i submit the form and get the deep link. The link shows the first first name on the list in sql db, it doesn't keep the name that i selected on the boxes. Any idea what I am doing wrong to get the first name on the list to appear? Thanks for your help!

Amazing Video Reza... Can you tell me if the edit feature for the Approver works if the Approver and Submitter are the same person. I'm testing my app as the submitter and approver. I receive an email as the approver but when I click the link, I only have edit view. I cannot make updates to the form. Also, it's not taking me to the ticket... It's taking me to the home screen instead.

It should work if Approver and Submitter are the same person. I will have to look at your App in action to know more about your issue & provide guidance. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

@@RezaDorrani Hello Reza, thank you for all you do. I am having the same challenge. I noticed that Param(ID) is returning the ID with a quote. (10"). The quote i suppose is from the deep link on Power Automate. How can this be fixed. Thanks again.

[@harriedblues8323]

This is now fixed. I realized I missed the first quote in the deep link in Power Automate. Works like a charm now. Thanks Chief.

Hello Reza, Thank you for this tutorial. Can you share the entire Video of this project. Thanks

The video is about approvals from apps. I do not have a complete tutorial video on the entire App.

Hi, Firstly, thanks for such a helpful knowledge you shared. I am fresh in Power Apps. For learning purpose I want to process the Shipping Container Number. It is request to would you please check the images and guide me, how I will extract the Shipping container number from the images ? I will be very thankful to you

Hi Reza, great video. Thank you so much. I have a query, there are default save and cancel in the new item form. Is there any way to remove those because after setting the onsuccess property the form does not get submitted.

[@RezaDorrani]

Seems you are using sharepoint list forms. I am not aware of an option to remove those.

[@jenniferwoo4034]

I love this, thanks so much. The only problem I have is when I need to edit the email; for some reason power automate cannot convert it back to HTML view without adding garbage and breaking the link :/

[@RezaDorrani]

That is a known bug since a long time. An option would be to add a compose action before send email action. Plug your html in there and then use output if compose action in email body.

[@jenniferwoo4034]

[@earlgarnethechico7877]

Hi Sir. @Reza do you have a video regarding the Form you use?

[@RezaDorrani]

I have done multiple videos on form control.

[@WaliSayed]

Hi Reza, thanks a lot for the useful video. However, this is good if there is one level of approval but I have a multi-level approval to be done within the Power Apps form. In the first step, line manager approves the request, after that review will be done by the reviewer, and the final approval is done by the country director. I can manage this by creating multiple flows for different buttons. However, your insight will be appreciated.

[@RezaDorrani]

Possible for sure but I do not have a video reference on it and would have to try it out to provide guidance. I recommend posting your query on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com

Hi Reza, First of all, your videos are really informative. I actually learned PowerApps and Automate watching your video. Thanks alot The issue I am facing here is, I am not using a form but controls on the screen for some reason. These controls includes attachment control also. Using this approach, I am not able to bring the attachment from list item. however, When I select galley, I can access the attachments by Gallery.Attachments... . Any workaround?

[@waqasidris4891]

Further Explanation: I am trying the same scenario as in the video. Opening powerapps item from email link. and I am not able to get the attachments for the item

[@shauntan8392]

Hi Reza - is it feasible for this workflow to be combined with the multiflow approvals in your other videos? Which part is the most important to change/adapt for this to work with multiple approvers? Also, the flow does not work for me if the Sharepoint approval list is selected as person (even tho it is not multi select), and only works if it's single line of text.

[@RezaDorrani]

Idea of this video was custom approval forms and approval decisions directly within Power Apps. It does not use power automate approvals. If wanting to make this work with flow approvals, all decisions would need to be taken outside of App context + no option for custom approval forms as of today. As for your issue, I will have to look at your flow in action to provide guidance. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

[@marounsader318]

amazing reza thank you much for this video, suburb as usual! i liked the idea that in the save button, you called powerautomte from the button rather than using the "when item created or modified in SharePoint" trigger approach, this made me wonder why wont we use this every time? is there any limitation for leveraging PA calls from a button? is it recommended way to use for most cases ?

[@RezaDorrani]

Glad you liked it! There is no limitation as such. Key differences between trigger flow from power apps vs run flow on item created is: 1 - When power apps calls flow, all flow actions will run under account of user who is running the App. For item created flow trigger, actions run under flow owner account. 2 - Power Apps calling flow - flow is triggered instantly. For item created flow trigger, it can take up to 2 mins for flow to trigger.
