Canvas App is a way to add alternating colors to a gallery that’s sourced from a Dataverse table. To do this, a new column needs to be added to the data source to store the sequential row number. This number can then be used with the Mod function to calculate the fill color of the gallery row. For example, if there is a “Demo Organizations” table, the “Item” property of the gallery can be modified and the “TemplateFill” property can be updated to make it work. However, patching the underlying data source won’t be possible since it won’t be the same data source.
