You probably know how we can add required components to our solutions – there is an option for that in the maker portal, and it’s easy to use. For example, if I had “contact” table in the solution already, I could add required components for that table: And the idea is that all the relationships,… Read More »
You might have seen Lance Delano’s post about permissions support functions: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/permissions-support-in-datasourceinfo-and-new-recordinfo-functions-for-dataverse/ This can be very useful, and it sort of feels this might be part of the functionality that would be required to use Power FX when configuring command bar buttons in model driven apps (since we would need to disable/enable those buttons based… Read More »
This is probably one of those things the product team is going to fix really soon, but, in the meantime, if you started to see spinner recently when looking at the flow run history, you might want to try one of the following: Resize the browser window (could just maximize it as well) Click somewhere… Read More »
Just noticed a new button showing up in my environments this morning, and, at first, I thought “wow”, but, then, I thought a bit more, and now I ‘m wondering.

When working with model-driven applications, we always have to publish our changes to see them applied to the user interface. In some cases, it’s ok. We can keep adding columns to the form and publish those changes one, for example. That’s a little frustrating, but it’s acceptable. In other cases, this may become much more… Read More »
When working with Microsoft Dataverse, have you ever tried to figure out what exactly is happening behind the scene, and why that specific column is getting a certain value which you would not expect it would be getting? One might think it is easy to do, but consider how many ways are there to actually… Read More »
The month of October is upon us, and, with that, there are all the pumpkins, costumes, decorations, and all the other Halloween stuff. So, then, why don’t we talk about the skeletons we have either found, or, possibly, left in the virtual closets of all those Dynamics/PowerPlatform projects we have worked on? While doing this,… Read More »
I was looking at my blog statistics in Google analytics today (doing a review every now and then), and noticed something that I’m curious about. To start with, I don’t do a lot of presentations, so my blog, for the most part, is all about delivering written material. Which is available in any time zone… Read More »
I was playing with the side panes tonight, and, even though there is no argument they have great potential , I wonder if you’ve already started using them or if there are a few missing features which are holding you off? To start with, side panes are pretty well documented in the docs. They are… Read More »
