Hey @Perez 

To configure this, you can update the configuration as:

See More Button -> OnSelect -> Set(ShowFields, true)

Screen -> OnVisible -> Set(ShowFields,false)

Form ->
First Two Data Cards -> If (FormName.Mode <> FormMode.New, true, false)
Rest of the DataCards -> If (FormName.Mode <> FormMode.New && ShowFields = true, true, false)

Hope this Helps!

For the first question, this can be realised quite easily:

• create a context variable on the onvisible property of the form: UpdateContext( { showAllFields: false } ), This creates a variable showAllFields which is set to false
• select the datacard you want to hide on default and set the visible property to showAllFields, this will show the datacard when the variable is true and hide it when it's false
• Add a button and put the following on the onselect property: UpdateContext({showAllFields:!showAllFields}). This will switch the variable from false to true if it's false and from true to false if it's true

For the second question you find good information here: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/separate-custom-forms/
