Thank you.

Hi @sperry1625 ,

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

To better understand the problem, can you please provide following additional information.

1. Power Apps Studio version and the Fluent Details List version.
2. Formulas used in the DetailsList.Items.
3. Code of the Fluent Details (as shown in the attached screenshot).

This will help us resolve the issue more efficiently.

I think I saw this error message before but I'm not entirely sure. For me it ended up being related to the user's concept of version not the product's which is what it sounded like.

So I just added an unnecessary button, published, removed it, published again, and then reloaded the app.

I know it sounds like a dumb suggestion but please do try it as it worked for me, unless I'm just remembering the error message totally incorrectly.

ok I saw this again today and it is the same error message. I last saw it ~a month ago I think.

I did validate that my workaround fixes it, meaning it goes away.

• add some unneeded control and publish
• remove that control and publish
• reload and its resolved.

Likely still something for folks to investigate in case its a hint of something happening in the background, but it does appear that for now we can get the dialog to go away by republishing the app.

We have confirmed this was caused by a change a few months ago to PCF dataset-based controls (like FluentDetailList in the Creator Kit). This message will show when a control that was last edited before this change is reopened. There should be no issues with proceeding to open the app.

Please follow Jenefer's suggestion to republish the app to make this error message go away.

• add some unneeded control and publish
• remove that control and publish
• reload and its resolved.
