I have a canvas app integrated on a D365 CE form. The app is essentially a form and i would like to populate fields on the form with the context of the record it is embedded in. For example, embedded in an Account and i want to create a child record connected to the Account without having the user select it again.
Generally speaking i have had issues using the data from the FormIntegration context. Anyone have any advice/feedback? Thanks in advance!
Hi @tcorcor11 ,
Do you want to pass the current record as a data context to the embedded canvas app?
Here's a doc for your reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/model-driven-apps/pass-current-embedded-canvas-app
If you meet some problems about it, please show more details about it. Pictures, formulas, etc all help.
Best regards,

Hi Phoebe,
Thanks, i missed on critical detail in that doc. Initially I was using the below:
[@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Data.ext_fieldname
Instead of:
First([@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Data).ext_fieldnameid
Now, the field ext_fieldname is a lookup and i am trying to set that by default. I can pull the guid and drop it in a text field but passing that into the combobox i am using for the lookup doesnt work. It returns a "value must be a data entity" error. I have also tried just using the below to set the record by default without success:
First([@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Data)
Thanks again for your help
