Power Apps Exchange

I have a SharePoint list that has a column for button label and one for button action.  I used this list to create a collection and then the collection to create a gallery, including a button.  I set the text property to be the label and that works as expected.  However the onselect does not.  Nothing happens when I click the button.

I can create a standalone button and specify Launch(....)and that works fine.  If put that command in a list row/column then reference it in the button onselect as ThisIte.Action nothing happens when the button is clicked.  I also tried just the app ID in the list and the reset of the Launch command as string values in the onselect (I used & to combine the strings with ThisItem.Action in the correct place but also no luck).

The ThisItem.Action evaluates ok but it does not seem to be effective for a button onselect.  Does anyone know if onselect can take variables for a button?  Really destroys a great design approach I am trying to take.

Thanks

Hi Larry,
What is the content of ThisItem.Action? If it is a string with "Launch( . . . )" this will not work - you cannot dynamically specify commands like this.​

I already found out that dynamic data can't be resolvled in a command like this.  Thanks for responding.
