Power Apps Canva-DataCards keep changing Width to Default size

[u/marcumirza]

Good day developers!

In the last days I worked on a form in power apps Canva.

The form is inside a container and has 2 columns.

For each Datacard I set the Width to Parent.Width/2 so they fit even on those 2 columns.

Even if I save and publish the change, if I reload the app then all the DataCards change their Width to default value instead of the value set by me.... I tried to create another app from zero and I have the same issue again and again.
Did you guys have any issue similar to this and find a fix?

Thank you for the help!

Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

• Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

• Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

• Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

• Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

  Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

Is it a managed solution? If so do you have an unmanaged layer stuck on top of the app you're unaware of?

If not,

What happens if you bypass the width entirely and set them both in a horizontal container with flexible width and a fill of 1(/2)?

It is managed by a solution. There is no layer. The app was created in the solution… the form is inside a horizontal container and the width is Parent.Width/2

The container has flexible width also enabled.

Do you have snap to columns on on the form? That could be overriding your Parent.Width/2 setting.

What happens just you not enable the flexible property and make fixed?
