Trying to add a record to a form

[russrimm1]

Hi all,

I have a record (named "selecteduser") that i'm adding to a form.  I set the datasource and the item to the name of the variable holding the record.  The problem is, the datasource changes to "Custom" and Edit Fields/"Add Field" is greyed out so I can't add my fields.  One of the columns in the record has a value that is a record, not sure if that matters. 

I imagine it's because it's not a true datasource - it's a result from a graph API call using a custom connector.  What's the best way to display this returned record?  Is a label/labels my only option?

Hi @russrimm1 

The datasource of a form must be an actual connector like a SharePoint list or an excel table. However the item property can use the a variable in a lookup as long as it references the datasource in the form like

Lookup(SPlist,  ID = variable.ID).

Thanks, in this case I created a custom connector and returned the data using UpdateContext to store it as a record.  I ended up just displaying it all in a label since Form wouldn't work.

Thanks!
