As described on Microsoft learning, there are 3 ways we can render snippets in Power Pages: A developer can place a snippet using Liquid: {{ snippets[“<>”] }}, {% editable snippets ‘<>’ %}, or {% include ‘snippet’ snippet_name:'<>’ %}. Customize content by using content snippets | Microsoft Learn It looks like it’s more or less interchangeable,… Read More »
Not sure this is 100% accurate, but this seems to be close to how Power Pages rendering works. I needed a bit of a visual for myself, so, perhaps, it’ll help someone else, too: There are a few caveats there: However, if you create a page template and set it up so that it won’t… Read More »
I ran into something the other day, which I think is related to the difference between standard and enhanced data models, but, also, it’s related to some hidden stuff we don’t even know about when it comes to Power Platform. Basically, we have a solution that was developed on the environment that also had a… Read More »
I am not a global admin in the tenant, I am just a system administrator in the specific environment, and, yet, a Power Pages site has already been created for me… so I was just about to go to the Power Pages portal to do some work, and then I got stuck on this: Which… Read More »
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 »

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 »
Quick note to whoever is reading: this post is a bit of an experiment. It’s useful, but it pretty much sticks to the facts and there is no personal touch. This is intentional, there is another post which explains why Back in October, Microsoft has started rolling out updates to the Dataverse connector which will… 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 »
