Abarbanel you can customise your SharePoint form in Power Apps and hide whichever columns you don't want the user to see and only show them the columns they need:

Hi Rob

Thank you for the suggestion. I found it easy to choose columns to have on the edit form except for the name field. I'm trying to use this on a document library. The name field can appear but it's only to view, you can't edit the name. It also seems to be effecting the New form because a name is required for a new document set in the document library but the name isn't an editable field so no new document set is created with the power apps form. What should I do?
