User Experience Impact from Smart Paste Feature
If the smart paste feature is implemented without proper user training, users may experience confusion or frustration when suggestions appear, leading to incorrect data entry or reliance on suggestions that may not fit their needs.

explanation for non-techies**
Power Apps is introducing a new feature called "smart paste" that aims to make filling out forms quicker and more efficient. Imagine you're filling out a form and you have a list of information already copied from another document or email. With smart paste, when you go to fill out the form in Power Apps, you can click a button or use a keyboard shortcut to get suggestions for each field based on the text you've copied. It's like having a helpful assistant who looks at what you have and suggests where it might fit in the form.
Think of it like when you're using a GPS app that suggests the fastest route based on current traffic. You can choose to follow the suggested route or stick with your original plan. Similarly, with smart paste, you can accept the suggestions if they make sense or ignore them if they don't. This feature is designed to save time and reduce the effort needed to enter data, making the process smoother and more intuitive.
No immediate action is needed from users, but it's a good idea to be aware of this feature as it becomes available. If you're interested in learning more about how it works, there's an article available that provides further details.
