![]() I’ve developed many solutions with InfoPath and some with PowerApps, and if you are looking at the current functionality, I would judge that it can only do 50% of that which InfoPath 2013 can do - and it requires a far greater level of Developer involvement to reach that far. It saddens me that the extended usefulness of InfoPath as a product has not been recognised, and let's be generous here and say that perhaps Microsoft and other influencers who suggest only using PowerApps haven’t used InfoPath to any depth. There are many companies who over many years have invested in developing with InfoPath (and some who still do) and a message of 'PowerApps is the replacement for all' is not entirely helpful to them or in my opinion the whole truth. I totally agree with your thinking Steve, and the pragmatic approach you have taken to move things forward. "Who has the laser pointer, and who are the cats" The InfoPath 2013 application remains the last version to be released and will work with SharePoint Server 2016. Customers will be able to confidently migrate to SharePoint Server 2016 knowing that their InfoPath forms will continue to work in their on-premises environments, as well as in Office 365. Specifically, InfoPath Forms Services will be included in the next on-premises release of SharePoint Server 2016, as well as being fully supported in Office 365 until further notice. Has someone else? Did I miss the communication?Īs part of the update shared around the Evolution of SharePoint and the next SharePoint Server on-premises release, we are also updating the timelines for removal of InfoPath Forms Services components of SharePoint and SharePoint Online. Here is an update from - I am going to take MS at its word and I have not heard the "until further notice" message that says the InfoPath is no longer supported in O365. ![]() They only needed the solution for 6 months, so it wasn't a long term investment. It was a fun (to me) quick way to make a pretty form, with some field rules that satisfied the needs of an internal customer. I have not built anything as complicated as I used to in SP2010, but I have used infopath to customize list forms and they worked fine. That said - Where do you enable it in SharePoint Online? Are you talking about the SharePoint Admin Center | Infopath | Browser-enabled Form Templates? I have both "Allow users to browser-enable form templates" and "Render form templates that are browser-enabled by users" enabled. However if I was to suggest an approach by someone who had to learn either one, I would suggest PowerApps since that is the right place to invest in skill development. I see no reason why I shouldn't use those tools if I, or an internal customer, has a modest need with a short lifecycle. I spent many hours developing solutions in InfoPath and SPD. If you view the Microsoft Product Lifecycle page you will see that Mainstream support for InfoPath 2013 is and the extended support is. However, I also think we are in the business of providing productivity solutions that work for our customers (in my case internal) now. This is not to say I disagree with learning and using powerapps, I don't. I pasted part of the text from the link ( ) in your screenshot at the bottom of my reply. ![]() I am a little disappointed that nobody answered your actual question. ![]()
