TL;DR
Create a Power Apps canvas expense tracker by generating a personal-expenses Dataverse table with Copilot, then connecting an edit form and a gallery to it. Set the form to New, use SubmitForm(frmExpense) on the save button, show a success notification, and test navigation and saved records.
Why it matters
- Makers: Review Copilot-generated Dataverse fields before building screens, then keep the entry form limited to expense name, amount, date and recurring status.
- Makers: Set the form to New and connect the save button to SubmitForm(frmExpense) so new expense records are stored in Dataverse.
- Makers: Put the gallery on a separate screen and test that saved expenses display the intended name, amount and date.
