that form position trick blew my mind. thanks man!

If you go to the advanced Tab on the right pane the X and Y fields display the positioning in Row and Column numbers. I use this to check and adjust my row /column positions.

Great tips, thank you! You may have saved my sanity with this! PowerApps take me back to the “bad old days” when Microsoft refused to accept the web standards and kept trying to re-invent html and css!

This video was amazing! I was going crazy prior to this video trying to figure out how to customize a simple form. Great and simple instructions and thank you for putting this together.

Thank you, so much for posting this video. It has proven immensely helpful for me in positioning the various field controls on the New, Edit, and View forms. Honestly, you should submit this guidance to Microsoft and have them officially publish it on their web site. 👍👋

Hi mate, if you have want to select all of a forms data keys and card values to change the font size etc, click the form and change the layout from vertical to horizontal or vice versa then click the undo button once, it may look like only the first card is selected but all of them are. Cheers

Hi Thanks for this, What if you have a form that is separated into pages or tabs i.e. a form that is 40 fields split across 4 tabs

Thanks for the video! The more I use Powerapps, the more it feels like half-baked product.

Any idea how to change a date format from mmddyy to ddmmyy in a power app? I'm using the annual leave app but can't figure it out?

It feels like I'm looking through a window into an alternative universe, in which Jesse from Breaking Bad made very different life choices.

I'm not sure if I'm subscribing for the content or the hotness of Nate. Both? 😁

When I tried the global label text field tip it disabled the color option in my properties pallet. Now I can't change the color of my labels. Any idea what I may have done wrong?

As a C# developer, hats off to anyone not killing themselves working with PowerApps - development of forms is sooo much easier and predictable with c#. Things don't move around you can design the form much, much, much quicker.
