DISABLING ‘Details Pane’ for a SharePoint list?

Hi,

 

for a SharePoint list (with some action triggers to start PowerAutomate flows) I have created different panes via PowerApps for collecting input for a new request with a NewForm and a version to Edit the form EditForm.

 

In the created list view (see screenshot) I do not show ALL the input fields from the NewForm, some are confidential (they are usable for me in the background when I collect the inputs from this list in a PBI report).  

 

However, now it turns out ALL info filled on the NewForm can always be seen via the details pane!?!? how can we disable this???

 

Can the details pane also be edited with the help of PowerApps?

 

best regards

Jeroen

    I had to fix this with making the input fields not mandatory and then I'm able to remove them from the details pane via edit columns in the details pane (only possible for non-mandatory columns).

    Hi Jeroen,

    It sounds like the issue you're facing is with the visibility of sensitive fields in the SharePoint list's details pane, which exposes all the data from the NewForm, including confidential fields.

    Unfortunately, the details pane in SharePoint doesn't provide a straightforward way to selectively hide certain fields, even though they are marked as confidential on the form. However, you can manage this issue through a couple of approaches. Kindly reach out for further discussion on getting this solved.
