Enable binding to OOB Address Fields

[OliverFlint]

While experimenting with PCF development I have noticed that it is not currently possible to bind properties to the OOB address fields (e.g. address1_line1, address2_line1, etc).

Could this be enabled? As currently, the only workarounds are to duplicate the address fields on the entity and then how JavaScript and/or workflow to synchronise the data between the fields, or to use the webapi to retrieve and update values.

Hi @OliverFlint  @HemantG 

1)You can pass the logical names of the field through input parameter(hardcoded)

<property name="addressLatitude" display-name-key="Enter Latitude Field Logical Name" description-key="Latitude Field Logical Name" of-type="SingleLine.Text" usage="input"/>

2)Then get the passed value through 

let getLatitude = context.parameters.addressLatitude.raw

3)And then retrieve values through 

context.webAPI.retrieveRecord();

4)You will get entity name and record id through 

context.page.entityTypeName;

context.page.entityId;

@kenakamu It is not in there in definition file which is provided but you will get in crm try checking in debugger add a breakpoint in init and check the context
