Release 3.20065.16: Controls lose property definitions

[JonathanGibbs]

As of release 3.20065.16 controls are losing certain properties such as X, Y, Visible, Image, BackgroundImage (and probably others) in PowerApps Studio, where these are calculated. They can be fixed by re-entering the definition. For example, an Image control whose Y property is Parent.Height - Self.Height will show incorrectly at the top of the page: if I delete the property and then enter it again, it shows correctly at the bottom. But if I save the app and reload, it is back at the top of the screen. Same is true of many other properties, including a screen's BackgroundImage, for example, and several Visibles. Tried restoring to earlier versions, and using a different browser, but problem remains. Published apps are ok - it's just the Studio implementation.

This is similar to a problem in release 3.20021.27 (see Release 3.20021.27 Component instances lose property definitions ) which was corrected with a fix.

Could you find the fix again please, quickly?!

Do you have any screen share for this issue with the broken control property here?

This is what my one is looking like + my context variables are mostly "not working" -> that's why all the little popups are showing

Got a reply from MS Support - choosing a previous Studio version seems to fix the all the problems.

Open/create your app via the previous Power Apps Studio version by manually specifying the version number as:

https://<region_code>.create.powerapps.com/<full version number>/studio/

And you can check the history build number by checking: https://create.powerapps.com/debug.html

In my example, I can open my existing App with previous version as https://as.create.powerapps.com/v3.20064.23.155867258/studio/#source=portal&environment-name=Default...

@musantana1 That works - thank you!

Very useful tip, which I'll note for the future

Can you please share the session Id information of the studio?

@musantana1 @ShantanuP  Release 3.20072.19 seems to have corrected the problem
