PowerApp forms get stuck on "Getting your data..."
Sheldor This is brilliant. Thanks. You saved me HOURS of frustration. It's like Christmas came early. 😉

I feel like I'm missing something here. Are we saying that if you just straight up follow the instructions located here...that we still have to add extra formulas to get the form to work properly? I followed this well written tutorial and I'm getting stuck in the same spot as y'all. I wonder if the PowerApps and SharePoint teams actually know about this?
I have a ticket in the hopper with the SharePoint team on this. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.
The 'Getting your data' error often occurs when there's a mismatch between the display names used in SharePoint and Power Apps. This discrepancy can lead to issues in data retrieval and filtering. In my experience, using the email address instead of the display name helps to avoid this problem because email addresses are unique and consistent across both platforms. By filtering based on email addresses, you can ensure that the correct data is fetched without encountering the mismatch error.
Carolina_MiC how did it turn out?
Carolina_MiC I'm with you on this. Did you get any feedback from support? The "fixes" in this post appear to be workarounds to a root problem with power forms and SP. I found it best to simply delete all versions of form and start over. My list is quite simple though.
