Sharepoint List/Data Connector Won’t Connect

[alexleetoo17]

I have a customized list that I was troubleshooting and manually disconnected from its Sharepoint Data Connector in order to reconnect it (I thought this might solve my other, unrelated issue). I clicked Add Data, selected Sharepoint, and then selected the specific site and list. Now the List shows up under the Data panel, but the form still says there are no connections. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting numerous times. Is there something I’m missing here?

Thanks in advance!

Did you check the DataSource property for the form to ensure it still refers to your data?

@BCLS776  Yes, it does.

Ok, a few more things to try:

1. Re-populate the DataSource field, ideally by re-selecting the data source in the properties window for the form. This should force a refresh of the connection to that source
2. Prove to yourself the data connection is working by doing a ClearCollect of a chunk of it and verifying that data actually loads

@BCLS776 brilliant, thank you very much! I didn't realize you had to select it in the properties window, I was just adding it in the free text field
