is it possible to make advanced forms tabs clickable?
I don't want the users to always click the next and previous button to navigate to their desired tabs.
I have an advanced form on view details page (no editing users just view data)
please advice experts

Hello @lira-toh.
There is no simple way to do this by configuration with advanced forms. Whenever I need this type of user experience I create custom navigation using HTML and JS with liquid. You could also create a script that makes the tabs clickable, but that wouldn't be very good for accessibility.
I made a blog post for you that describes how I usually create forms with clickable tabs using basic forms and pages: https://ulrikke.akerbak.com/2021/10/20/clickable-tabs-navigation-for-power-apps-portals/
Hope it helps.

Pls assist.

@UlrikkeAkerbæk i found out wat the problem was, on my basic form i was using the id as record source type, i changed to "record associated to current user" and now all my forms are retrieving data.
Can you provide a sample code snippet of how to do this? Where would you paste the code in powerapps?
