It is kind of funny when I have to do a power app form in SharePoint. It has so many reminders or memories of doing forms in vfp. Defining code to do what you want as the form opens. In SP, I have a list with a column for Plant, that defines which of our 22 locations this transaction applies to. I put in a ticket with M$ to be told that in straight SP, you cannot filter by the user's EntraID/AD details. In a power app form I can read who you are and where you work and filter just your transactions.
This list is filled by events happening on the shop floor from Safety Culture events all the time.
Anywho the power app forms will make a vfp fan feel at home is that I am trying to say. It is linked to the dataset you are working on.

If VFP didn't have visual classes with the metadata and code snippets in DBF files, and there was a way of defining the UI declaratively, like for example XAML in WPF, then that would be a runner.
