List Widget can't create new items

Hi,

I'm currently evaluating the Office 365 Forms designer as a potential solution for several clients.
So far I'm impressed with the product and it performs very well but have hit some small issues when designing forms using the "List or Library" Widget.

We would mainly use this to link child items to a parent form (like Expense lines to an expense header or Timesheet entries to the parent timesheet) but cant seem to get it working.

When the Widget is added to the form and the data source is setup, when the "Add new item" button is selected it just brings up a screen with a spinner and the page never loads.
For now I'm not using any lookup column and it's just showing all items in that list - currently 2. These items were added to the list using default SharePoint forms. if i attempt to edit these items using the pencil icon to the left of the record the form loads up fine and the record can be amended without issue.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Dear Duffy,
In the future, it's best to ask Forms questions in our dedicated community, just not to confuse people. This forum is for Forms Designer, a different product altogether.

As for your question - have you created forms for the List or Library source list? It must have custom forms in order to function properly. Here's a full instruction on the process - https://plumsail.com/docs/forms/how-to/ ... -form.html

Let me know if it helps or not - I'm looking forward to your feedback!
