Possible to start a Powerapp Form with a manual Flow?
Hi There, Does anyone know if its possible to manual start a Flow from a document library when a document is selected to start an Powerapp Form on a list (same site collection) to fill in the ...
- You would probably want to look into creating a custom powerapp form on the list instead of using flow. On that list powerapp form, have a selection mechanism at the top where you can search for and get the data from the document library that you can select the document A then provide those values from that selection to the list form, complete the list form, then submit it.
Not a straight forward enough for me to just say do x y z, but it shouldn't take too much learning that you can't turn it around quickly to get your desired results.

Might need a little bit better explanation of the goal here, I'm kind of confused of the ask :).
Haha ok, i can understand that its a bit vague.
Document Library - Document A
List -
The goal is that i can select one of the documents in the library (Per Example Document A) en than can add a (Newform initation for the list) Listitem with some of the listcolumns filled with the document properties.
I can ofc just start a new item on the list, but i want that some fields are pre poluated, thats the whole issue
