How do I enable custom tag quick-add and quick-filter buttons in the ChangePilot App?

After adding a custom tag, edit the ChangePilot App in Power Apps to configure quick-add and quick-filter buttons for your tag.

This article is relevant for ChangePilot Pro users only.

Microsoft add tags to their Microsoft 365 Message Center items to signal the theme or type of change or update the message is about. It is possible to add additional tag options to support your individualised usage of ChangePilot and enable buttons in the ChangePilot App (Power App) to:

  • 'Quick-add' a tag to an item
  • 'Quick-filter' the list of visible items by a chosen tag

Enabling and configuring tag quick-add buttons 

This guidance works through the addition of two sets of buttons. To just add one set buttons, keep 'CustomFilter2' and 'CustomTag2' set to 0.

This guidance uses the example of two custom tags: Change Board and Training. For differently named tags, adjust the code accordingly.

  1. First, the new tag/s must be added via the SharePoint/Microsoft List. See this article for guidance.
  2. Navigate to make.powerapps.com and to the ChangePilot App. Select 'App' with the Tree view. Within the 'OnStart' value, change both of the 'CustomTag' values to 1.



  3. Right-click 'App' and select 'Run On Start'. This will show the custom button.
  4. Within the Tree view, search for Button2_2 and click the item. Within the 'OnSelect' value, amend the 'CustomTag' value with your new tag (e.g. Change Board).
  5. Now select the 'Text' value where you can update the text shown on the button (e.g. Tag Change Board).
  6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 for Button2_3 for Training.
