💡 The Challenge:
When creating a dynamic form using a gallery in Power Apps, you may encounter issues with the Tab key causing flickering or not functioning correctly. This often happens when the gallery is directly bound to a collection.

✅ The Solution:
Instead of directly binding the gallery to the collection, use a sequence that matches the number of rows in the original collection. This will allow the Tab key to function correctly without causing flickering.

🔧 How It’s Done:

1. Create a sequence using the Sequence function that matches the number of rows in your original collection. Sequence(CountRows(YourOriginalCollection))
2. Bind this sequence to your gallery.
3. Update your OnChange Patch and the Default properties to match this new setup.
4. Additional Method:
   • Use the UpdateIf function to modify specific elements in the gallery, effectively ‘patching’ the relevant data item. This can be an alternative or complementary approach to handling dynamic forms, ensuring smoother functionality without workarounds.

🎉 Result:
A more functional and user-friendly dynamic form in Power Apps, eliminating flickering and improving the usability of the Tab key.

🌟 Key Advantages:

• Improved Usability: The Tab key will work as expected, improving the user experience.
• No Flickering: Eliminates the distracting flickering issue, making the form more stable.
• Data Integrity: This method ensures that your data remains accurate while improving functionality.
