It seems this old new debate is starting again, so now that Jukka and Natraj have posted great articles on the topic: https://jukkaniiranen.com/2021/04/democratizing-code/ https://dreamingincrm.com/2021/04/08/does-power-platform-need-developers-anymore/ I really can’t help but chime in, even if not on that same scale.

When setting up profile page for newly registered users yesterday (which I wrote about here: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/power-apps-portals-redirecting-newly-registered-users-to-a-custom-page/), I ran into something that I did not realize first. And, then, while digging around tonight, it all became crystal clear. Yep, header and footers are cached, so some of the Liquid code we may expect to work in… Read More »
When we have a team and a bunch of users added to the team, would you expect every user to have access to whatever another user has access to? Since, after all, they are all team members, so should not they be sharing the data? Basically, what if we have the following set up: Is… Read More »

As everybody else has already noticed, CRUD support has been added to the Virtual Entities: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/data-platform/virtual-entities/sample-ve-provider-crud-operations A while ago, I blogged about how we can use canvas apps with virtual entities, and there was a sample plugin there: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/virtual-entities-revisited-setting-up-a-virtual-entity/ So, I figured, I’d just try updating that plugin to support create/update/delete. Since it is, already,… Read More »
If there is any single feature I’ve been missing ever since new maker portal started to take over from the classic solution designer, it’s the treeview. However, have you visited preview version of the maker portal lately? Some things are definitely brewing there, and one of them is new solution experience which brings back… right,… Read More »
In the previous post, I started to talk about my recent Power BI experiences., but I kind of stopped half way through. There were 3 visualizations on the report, two of them were slicers connected to the date table, and, yet, there was the main visualization which, at that point, was not, yet, filtered by… Read More »
It’s been a while since I wanted to try using Power BI for something practical. And this is not to say there are no practical applications for Power BI It’s all about me being a Power Platform consultant who is working primarily with model-driven applications, and, every now and then, with Power Automate and Canvas… Read More »
Business process flows can definitely help guide our application users – they always look nice in the demos, and they easily draw positive feedback.
