Hello!
I want to change the titles' font color of all datacards in a DetailScreen. So far I only managed to do that manually, one datacard after the other, which is time-consuming and not dynamic (if I add a new column to my list the new datacard will not have the good font color I guess).
Is there a way to echange the titles' font, font color, font size, etc. of all datacards in a DetailScreen?

Solved! Go to Solution.
This article provides a very nifty suggestion that helps a lot, which is to link properties of multiple elements to just one of the elements.
For example, if you have Label1, Label2, ... Label 10, you can change the font property for Label2 onwards to Label1.Font, so that when you change the Font for Label1 it updates to the rest of them.
You can use this with probably all properties and you can do some useful things like setting the X property of fields that need to be aligned to the first field in a column, and when you move that field all the others move with it.
Hi @Anonymous,
Currently editing the same property of different controls is not available in PowerApps.
I have seen ideas submited on this request already, but I can't find that link by now.
Please consider create your own idea:

Any idea if this feature has been released? Or has anyone found a work-around?
The only way I've found to mass edit form elements is to manually create my own "data cards" using Dropdowns/Textboxes/Labels/Stars/Error Messages/etc. Then you can select multiple Controls at once in the left pane and apply styling to them all with one command.
Limitations:
Forms are probably the biggest pain in PowerApps. Unfortunately, its the best use case for PowerApps (form replacement apps). I've spent DAYS (not hours at this point) customizing form by clicking into each Data Card, selecting the 4-5 controls I need to style and applying Properties, moving to the next repeat, repeat, repeat.

Thank you for responding. I guess it's 6 of one bad thing, half a dozen of another.
Meh. So far Patching the manually created form elements works ok. I still use stock Data Cards when the # of fields is over 15-20.

Very true, hadn't thought about that. Perhaps one could create some hidden elements that would act like master controllers for common things like font and color, and you'd have no reason to delete those. For example, if you had multiple headers you could have a hidden label called Header0 and link all your other header's relevant design properties to it.
Just a thought!
