Is power apps down today, or is it just me? (Had to happen when I'm behind with my deadline!😱)

Who has tried other lowcode platforms out there.. Share you experience with us.. i wanna hear it😃

I’ve done a lot of research over the last 9-10 months on solutions to queries I have in Power Apps. Some of which were probably too advanced for my skills at the time. Nevertheless, I followed guidance on YouTube and eventually modified what I saw to work to my needs. I probably didn’t understand why it was working but I made it work. I then came across @Darren Neese and the Learn Power Apps community. There is so much useful information and guidance offered that I recently purchased the PPC course to advance my knowledge. That brings me back to why I’m posting. One thing I would like to see on the channel is a solution to dynamically drag and drop for tasks. i.e. having a list of tasks/jobs that I can drag and assign to a user/time slot just like scheduling our production or maintenance jobs. I found a really good solution by Scott Durow where he provided a component which allowed me do it (link below). https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhgOm-Jpmt82JvLdJFx3Zqo89h_deWJQF&si=Iioh8BXLOVnosTqz It was fairly in depth and took me a lot of time to get up and running, but I did get it working, well sort of. I could drag and drop my tasks but could not figure out how to get the Patch back to my datasource to work as I was trying to adapt his instruction to my app needs. Like I mentioned earlier, I was probably trying to achieve something far too advanced for my understanding at the time. If I looked at it again, I may stand a better chance of achieving the final goal of saving my drag and drop changes. Is it possible to come up with a solution that achieves a similar result without the need for installing the components that Scott provides? It’s a big ask but, if I’ve learned anything, you have to think a bit out of the box and that’s what this community and its contributors do best.

◾ What topic do you prefer for today's Workshop? Let us know below. It will be at 1pm EST today. https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/be8cc8ca-e4cb-4b86-aa9f-a98f2d7bac24@d893a47a-c8b5-4f8f-8ddd-ab0a112fc7a5 ◾ Tomorrow morning, instead of doing a live stream, I'll be doing a community Q & A about Whop and/or Power Apps.

Throwing out a hail mary here... My dept had developed a Microsoft Form to poll our clients on how we were doing. Then they discovered that Forms only allows tracking of the person taking the survey if they are in the businesses' environment. Anyone with an outside @ , and you have to use the anonymous mode. Which stinks b/c we want to be able to address the questions after, and sometimes our clients will use names like Mickey Mouse to attempt to circumvent identification if we ask who they are. We actually have an external facing sharepoint site for clients using Guest membership- so long story short - I add users as Guests to our Tenant to grant access to the sharepoint site. So the idea was to create a power App that they could go to the sharepoint site and use to answer the survey. Welllll after I completed the app and embedded it, I started testing access. I found out that Guests are not granted the license to use Power Apps, so it's a no-go. Security sure as heck will not be adding licensing for these guest accounts. Next thought was power pages. But after reaching out to IT, I was told we haven't 'explored' that yet due to price. Hoping for a workaround or a fresh idea... Have tried a bunch of things but nothing is working so far. Even thought about somehow assigning them a # or ID when they click a link on the sharepoint that would then be assigned to their form so we knew who it was, but I wasn't able to figure that out. Any thoughts or workarounds from the group?? I essentially have no budget, so even any external form software is out of reach.
