    Hope you are doing good! Thank you for reaching out. Please find the answer below.

    1. Start with Your Microsoft List
    • Create or open your Microsoft List (or SharePoint List).
    • Ensure all 40+ fields are added with appropriate data types (text, choice, date, person, etc.).
    1. Launch PowerApps Customization
    • In your list, go to Integrate > Power Apps > Customize Forms.
    • This opens PowerApps Studio with a default form connected to your list.
    1. Adjust Layout for Large Field Count
    • Switch to Landscape orientation for more space: File > Settings > Display > Orientation.
    • Change layout to 2 or 3 columns to avoid excessive scrolling.
    1. Organize Fields with Tabs or Sections
    • Use containers or tabs to group related fields (e.g., Personal Info, Job Details, Preferences).
    • This improves usability and performance.
    1. Customize Controls and Validation
    • Change control types (e.g., dropdowns, toggles).
    • Add validation rules (e.g., required fields, email format).
    • Rename controls for clarity.
    1. Use Patch() for Advanced Submission
    • Instead of SubmitForm(), use Patch() for more control over data submission.
    • This is especially useful for large forms with complex logic.
    1. Test and Publish
    • Preview the form and test all fields.
    • Save and publish the form back to SharePoint/Microsoft Lists.

    Hello Susmitha,

    Thank you for your response.
    What I would like to do is customize the form by rearranging the fields into specific positions.
    It is possible to create a form out of the column structure.
