SharePoint list Power Apps form export/import version issue

[eivee]

Hello,

I have a SharePoint list where I customized the form with Power Apps. The form got created in the default Power Apps environment.

For development we use a separate Power Apps environment, so to move it, I exported it from the default environment, deleted the customized form from my list, switched to the development environment and then imported successfully the customized form.

When I try to open the form I get a "Something happened to the Power Apps version you were using." message with options to rollback to a previous version of the form, or to update to a new version. If I pick the update to new version option I get a "The app you are trying to open was saved with a newer version of Power Apps and cannot be opened with the current version of Power Apps.". The rollback option isn't useful either. It just takes me to the form versions page. The next time I try to open the form I get the same error as with the update to a new version option.

Although the form is reattached to the list in the right environment, due to these errors I am not able to further customize the form in Power Apps. I tried to change the version I used before the export and after from Account > Change authoring version, but nothing worked. The version I am using is 3.21013.19.

I attached two snapshots of the errors I got.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

PS: I did this in the past with other forms and it worked.

Hi @eivee ,

Would you like to export SharePoint customize form from default environment, and import it into another environment?

If so, I made a test with the same Power Apps version as yours (3.21013.19). I did meet the error in your first screenshot, and after clicked “update to new version” it opened a new tab with the customize form app. The SharePoint list have automatically bounded to this customize form app. At this point I thought I would work well with the imported app, but reality punched me in my face. I selected to “customize forms” in SharePoint list, after a few seconds waiting, the error in your 2nd screenshot came up in a sudden. I have tried to save and publish the app after import to current environment which seemed could work, but failed. I also tried to revert version but did not work.

You will always be able to open the app in below page after import the app, but even re-publish the app it could not be opened any more.

So I would suggest you rise a ticket on support page first:

https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/support/

I will dig up further to see if there is a workaround.

Hope this helps.
