Even if it’s only for myself, I just have to write it down so it sticks. Whenever I want to enable April preview in the environment, I need to go to the Power Platform admin center, and, from there, I need to click the environment link: It seems to be the only way to open… Read More »
You may have managed to put in an unmanaged change in production where you have agreed to use managed solutions only, and it may look like you are doing fine, nobody noticed.. So it’s all good until, suddenly, something starts going wrong! Here is one scenario that does not seem to work well… Read More »
Canvas Apps tutorials / samples are often using the same approach. They will show you how to create an application that is relying on the Gallery and Form controls and walk you through the basic usage of those controls.

It would be a challenge these days to find a single person who does not have any picture id at all. Driver licences, health cards, passports, access cards.. Those id-s are everywhere – I probably have to carry at least 2-3 every day, and there are a few more I have to carry occasionally.… Read More »

Turned out I was doing this kind of thing: I was setting a context variable in one place, and I was setting a global variable in another. Both variables… Read More »
One thing about Dynamics which I love and hate at the same time is that I’m constantly getting challenged.
