POWER APPS – FISSION DEV – Part 2

Background

(this is not FUSION development)
The scenario is for a ‘Pro’ developer to build a Power App, in such a way that the ‘Citizen’ developer can maintain 80% of the app without requiring assistance.

Why this post series:

The aim of this post series is to make coding simple for the new citizen developer. Do no mix basic code with more advanced code. The latest features may or may not be embraced. The aim is not new features initially, the aim is to invigorate and keep the citizen developer as long term enthusiast. The reader will in their own time explore latest features and adopt or not (I predict adopt).


Finally the aim is not to teach how to code, the aim is to FISSION CODE – ‘division or splitting into two or more parts’.

Nucleus: First Field on Screen

Use the first field as the the nucleus of the screen attributes. Fore example if you want the label fields colour of the fields on the form to be white. Set only the attribute ‘Color’ of first field to White. All other label fields ‘Color’ set to
be ‘Label1.Color’.

where Project label colour is:

and Documentation Standard label colour is:

Note the difference , the ‘Documentation Standard’ colour attribute references the value in ‘Project’ colour attribute.

So changing ‘Project’ colour attribute. will change all colours.
