It was a strange day today – I kept finding new stuff (as in “new for me”) in Canvas Apps. Apparently it had something to do with the fact that a Canvas App I was working on is being used in production now, so it’s getting much more real-life testing than it used to. A… Read More »
When thinking about user licensing in D365 instances, you may be thinking of D365 applications. However, from the licensing standpoint D365 instance is nothing but an “advanced” CDS instance with a bunch of first-party apps deployed there, so it is still possible to use Power Apps “per app” and “per user” plans in those instances.… Read More »
Sometimes, I get a feeling that, as far as Dynamics/Model-Driven javascript event handlers are concerned, everything has already been said and done.

It’s a custom PCF control that’s relying on the N:N relationship to display those dropdown values… Read More »

However, unlike with a regular lookup, I want that “Advisor” field to only display contacts which are connected to the current skillset through the “Expert”… Read More »
Managed solutions are recommended for production, and we’ve been using them lately without much troubles, but, occasionally, something does come up.
