PowerApps Components

Component Limitations

• Can't use UpdateContext(), only Set() for variables
• Variables used in components don't appear with app variables
• Components don't support collections
• Can't nest a component within a gallery or form
• Can't use Navigate() or other functions that reach outside of the component
• Documentation is very limited at this point
• You can't preview within the component build area, must preview after adding component to a screen

Note that the default BackColor is "Yellow". However this can be superceded in the instance of the component in a screen
