Custom Property in PowerApps

[Anonymous]

I created a component in PowerApps (i name it as "Separator") to use it as header for certain group of fields on the form.

Component has a label which shows the text which is passed via custom input property called "SectionTitle"

Now label's text property is set to Separator.SectionTitle.

Now when i initially set the section title property, it works fine. But after some time it becomes blank.

Anybody facing similar issue ? how can i resolved this issue.

Thanks in advance

How are you setting SectionTitle property? Does it go blank without you setting it again? Can you provide little more details about how you are setting it up?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you mean that your label becomes blank after some time?

Have you made any change on your SectionTitle property?

I've made a similar test but not met the same problem like your description.

Here's my test , please check whether you've made any mistake:

1)create component , named Separator

insert a custom property, set like this:

 insert a label inside the component, set the label's Text:

Separator.SectionTitle

2)inside the app, insert this component

set Separator_1's SectionTitle:

"aaa"

Then the text will display correctly and it will not disappear after some time.

Best regards,

I created it as Custom Input Property.

The value is already set but it is not visible not sure why. I already tried to bring the label to front / forward but still not results.

If i change anything to the existing text then it appears in designer but still does not appear on published app.

As you can see below. Property has the value but the section is actually blank.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You mean you insert component inside a form?

Actually this is component's limitation:

Nesting: components cannot be inserted into galleries, forms, and data cards today. Likewise, forms and data-grids cannot be embedded into components.

Please do not insert component inside a form, which will lead to some problems.

Best regards,
