Repeating tables in PowerApps

In InfoPath there was the repeating table control that would let one add dynamically rows in a table. Is there anything similar in PowerApps? I have looked at the gallery but it looks like you have to specify the number of items in the gallery. Thanks.

      I guess that's not what Sreeni is looking for. Laura article is about displaying data from 2 SharePoint lists. What Infopath was used to be able to do was to create an entry form for users to input data on a repeating tabet. For example in a plane tickets booking scenario where the user enters first name, last name and age of 'person 1' and then clicks on a + button to add another passenger : the 3 Input fields first name, last name and age are then repeated do user can add a second passenger details. The data was stored in the same SharePoint list with no data binding to a SharePoint column but to an XML file dealt by Infopath.

      I'malso looking for such a solution 😁

        Cedric Oster,

         

        I was able to find a solution for this in PowerApps. It may not work exactly like Infopath but it is possible. If you'd like to know, I'd be happy to help via PM. Thanks.

      Hi

      So I think this is exactly what I am looking to do as well - I have 2 SharePoint lists, Projects and Tasks...the tasks is a multiple to one relationship with the projects but the caveat is that depending on the category of the project, there are a set number of tasks that need to be added to the project and values edited upon creation of the project.  Can you share how you achieved the editing of the repeating table (gallery item)?
