List Branching
Good Day
On a generic modern list we see a lot of users looking at having fields or columns to not show up depending on the selection made on another column. Lets say a generic list has 15 columns, a user starts adding a new record to the list and based on the selection done lets say on column/field 3, 6 columns or fields do not apply/should not be longer viewable on the list. Probably Microsoft Forms can help with this branching logic or maybe PowerApps but does someone know of an easier native approach to this type of scenario?. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the feedback.
- 100% use case for Powerapp forms. Microsoft Forms alone could work, but it's very very basic and really only stand alone, then you ship the data into SharePoint using Flow. So you can't look at existing data etc. using forms, so it really depends on use case. If it's input only and that's it, Forms could work. Otherwise use Powerapps :).
Check out Shane Young for good PowerApp videas. He has one for SharePoint integration. Also Laura Rogers and many other resources to help get started.- As an alternative to PowerApps, take a look to the new View Formatting feature that allow you to create awesome views for your list and also with this kind of interactivity
- I've seen view formatting and done some myself, never seen anything with interactive elements outside of some buttons etc. on existing data. I think he's more referring to Data input and having conditional fields populate as they input that data!
