Using a Document Libary with Parent Child Relationship

[golfnutt8]

I have a Power App form "Parent" that creates a document library folder. (This uses a custom "Parent Folder" content Type)
Once the folder is created I open the folder and upload "Children" documents for approval. (This uses a custom "Document" content type). 
I want to have three separate forms, one for each workflow listed below.
The problem is that when I click properties to update a file, before I make a choice from the below list, it loads up the same form as I am using for the parent folder I created. Is there a way to use separate forms based on a content type?

You cannot have different forms based on content type.

You might want to check out and vote on this idea in the idea forum.

The best you can do at this stage is to account for the Content Type in your App and alter the information displayed.  This can be done easily with a different Edit Form for each content type and then setting the Visible property of the Edit form to be visible based on the current content type.

I hope this is helpful for you.

This is a challenge. If my content type changes based on whether is a folder or a document I would think that I could use this value on a form (hidden) and then based on the content type "Folder" or "Document" that I could then possibly hide fields on the form based on the content type. Would that work?

Yes...this is the same concept as what I had mentioned in this statement:

This was to say that no, you cannot have a custom form for each content type (in SharePoint customization), but you can have your one customization base its information displayed, collected, etc. on the content type.
