It seems I’ve been experiencing strange consequences of giving up on my MVP renewal, which is that I now don’t need to worry about sticking to some (real or imaginary) rules, I don’t even need to write anything here, but, somehow, that together just unlocks some of the topics I probably did not dare to… Read More »
It’s been there forever – you raise an error from the plugin, and you get Business Process Error popup in the UI. That’s all good except that not everyone likes that kind of popup title: So how about making it a different title? There is no supported way of doing this, but, well, lately I’ve… Read More »
There are two different onLoad events in the client-side XRM framework, and I did not know that… Well, it’s better to find it out late than never 😊 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/executioncontext/geteventsource Here is how it works: Actually, I used to think OnLoad does what OnDataLoad do. Maybe it used to do it? Not sure. Either way, when… Read More »
Turns out we can’t use process.setStatus freely to finish a business process at any time – it has to be in the final stage. Otherwise, we can only abort a process. Come to think of it, it is neither too obvious, nor too counter-intuitive. Either way, the code below works, it seems: formContext.data.process.setStatus(“finished”, result =>… Read More »
Changing primary owner of your flows in the maker portal is simple – just go there, choose a flow, click “Edit” in the details section, then change the primary owner. This usually makes sense when setting up an application account as a flow owner, since that protects us from unexpected failures if the user-owner leaves… Read More »
I think I have finally made piece with the decision not to apply for my MVP renewal, but it’s still worth a bit of an explanation. It won’t be long, though. First of all, when Andrey Butenko asked if I’d be interested in being considered for an MVP award back in 2017, I thought “wow,… Read More »
We don’t always get to choose the technology we work with in the Power Platform world. Strict security, missing subscriptions, long approvals… if you’ve ever worked on the government projects, you know the drill. However, sometimes, this leads to a very unusual combination of tools and technologies, and, in this series of posts, I’m going… Read More »
With Microsoft pushing co-pilots everywhere, with windows co-pilot refusing to talk about whether it represents any danger to humanity, it seems at least personally I need some rule of thumb to follow when talking about co-pilots specifically and AI in general, and, more exactly, about whether we still need experts or if we can just… Read More »
Apparently, I need an app on my phone, and, of course, having a Canvas App looks like a logical choice. The application does not have to be overly complicated, but it has to provide such functionality as: – Ability to see active requests – Ability to see new comments and to reply to them –… Read More »
Low code development is very promising, and, yet, it can be very tricky. I’ve done my share of Canvas Apps development, and if there is anything I learned about them is that there are dozens of little things that may not work, or they may not work exactly as you thought they would, and, so,… Read More »
