Converting InfoPath to PowerApps

I created a power app that replaces an Infopath form. I can switch to using the powerapp but the issue I am having is there is some links on a couple other SharePoint pages that link to the old InfoP...

If it's a click map image or what not, you should be able to click the "View source" button or "Edit web part" then View source, to see the links and update them there in that webpart. If it's referencing an HTML file for the coordinates then you'll have to locate the file for them via SharePoint designer. But, you really need to check the source of that Content web part and go from there since it won't be a built in SharePoint method.

Actually I think I see what you are saying now. From the web part I can get the following link. This link has 3 links embedded in it. One of them is the one I need to update, but how do I update from here?

    Depends where the file is. If it’s in a library on your site navigate to the library and go edit the file. You might have to use sharepoint design to get to the file if you can’t get to it by trimming / navigating the the URL. Just put in the URL and remove the file name out and see if it will nav to it.

      That is it! So I have 2 scenarios. 

       

      1 - It navigates to a SP list where there is a url I can update. But there is a limit of 255 characters and the link I copied for my new power app is > 255. I am getting the link by going to the SP list for my power app and opening a new request, and copying the link. Is there a way to shorten it or a way to take off the 255 character limit?

       

      2 - It navigates to a SP list with a HTML doc. The doc has code and it seems a little more complicated than copying and pasting the URL. I attached the code I highlighted the part I believe needs to be updated. I doubt you can tell without having access to the SP sites but I attached in case you had some pointers to how I would update this code.
