PCF : Add Lookup type for properties

[TanguyT]

Currently, it is not possible to define a property for attribute type Lookup.

Please add support for this type

The year 2020 is nearing its end and I wonder what the current status of this (very substantial) feature is. PCF has a long way behind and it's a pity that a substantial feature like support for Lookup attribute types (simple and partylist) are still not supported. I am hoping for these since I first used PCF's (predecessor) preview version back in 2018.

@HemantG  Could you please give us an update on this?

Unfortunately this feature got pushed out due to Teams  prioritization along with the canvas PCF GA . 

We will scope the next semester items in Jan 2021 and this will be evaluated.  Will update the thread once we have clarity.

Hermant,

Do you have any update on this one? We need this functionality in our ISV solution.

Meanwhile, can you propose any workaround?

Thanks

Kevin

Hi,

We have an implementation at a customer where we need to use the info of a "Country"-lookup. There is no way we can get/update the value of that field without using the "CE"-context.

When will we finally be able to use "Lookup"-fields in our "PCF"-controls? This was planned begin last year, but still no sign of this.

Is there a workaround? We need this in a solution for our customer.

Kind Regards,
Frederic

We still need this ability. We don't need *every* feature of lookups, we just need to create our own control. In fact all we really need is to disable hyperlinks for lookups that "don't go anywhere" like the State field in an address.

This is now supported 🙂

Marking this idea as complete - https://aka.ms/PCFBLog with the recent release we added support for Simple lookup and MSOS (Multi select option set)
