I'd really like a function within Canvas Apps to retrieve the App ID of the app I am currently in.   Currently there are a number of features which rely on the App ID to join the dots. We are able to retrieve this from outside of the app via its metadata. It would make for easier and simplier development if the app could be 'self aware' through calling a function such as AppID.()   This would allow me to write a formula such as Set(thisApp, AppID.()) ...

As per my query I would suggest the ability to link new contact Entity records to existing Account Entity records during a dataflow import.   I understand that this can be accomplished via a manual import from Data Management in the PowerApps Admin Center, however this lacks the Transform and schedule functionality of dataflows. ...

After the CDS upgrade, (Upgrade) (org ************) is displayed in the name of the default environment. An error has occurred and the environment name can not be changed. It is not desirable for the default environment to be renamed automatically. We also want the ability to change the default environment name. ... View more

In the Excel Drive linkage function of the model-driven application, the function to edit the relation destination entity at the same time is required. For example, after opening an entity view called "ABCDEFG", "Open in Excel Online" is executed, but as a relation destination, the "ABCDEFG" column displayed on the "Related" tab of the form is not displayed at all It is not. Also, if you try to edit the view, the related entity column will not appear as an option. As things that can be done are also limited, please improve immediately. ... View more

Hi, so I have been building a new Mobile-driven app, and I know that these apps are ready for Offline capability, but when trying to configer my entities to create a Mobile Offline profile as per this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/mobile-app/setup-mobile-offline-for-admin   the option for enabling my entities for offlie was not there, and after calling support, they confirmed to me that this functionality is only available in CRM environments but not CDS! as a new ISV and love to work on CDS, especially with the new licensing model which puts CDS at the front of all other options, switching on this capability for CDS environments allows us in areas like Iraq, which have poor internet services in some of its areas... (and I believe lots of counties have the same issue!) so having this higly required option in our solutions to our customers will be of  great impact.   thanks, Mohammad   ... View more

The new solutions are great for PowerApps, Flow and CDS, but I'm missing the option to add connections to solutions. It would be great to have that available as an option.  ... View more

Hi I want to make a noise about Model-Driven Apps pricing. While it is included in Plan P2 for developers, the USE of model driven apps should not be ALSO priced at an extra USD 40.0 per user, this is really unfair.   P2 should cover that P2 users can develop model driven apps while P1 should allow users to use model driven apps.   If you watch comments on your different YouTube channel, twitter etc, you will realize that model driven apps are dead on arrival, because of this unfair pricing.   PLease think of that when it is priced fairly, more users will attend CDS, and I promise to be marketing it for free.   I intend to make a noise in many places until my voice is heard and until Microsoft decide grants us this 'gift'.   Please support this idea.   thanks! ...

In CDS 1.0 there was an option to make a Auto-Number  type column. In the current version 2.0 this is no longer available. I would like to have this option because generating an unique number is functionality which occurs in many business scenarios for instance generating an personel number, a product number and so forth.  ...

Wondering, if there is any timeline for Capture Pen Input / Image to SharePoint out of the box?   In 2019, it is critical for modern apps especially mobile apps handle signature (Pen Input) / Images to have solid integration with at least SharePoint and other data sources.    As far as I know, PowerApps' camera control to SharePoint list can be done through Flow, utilizing dataUriToBinary function.   On the other hand "Image" controls and "Pen Input" control are not easy to handle to upload the image to SharePoint. i.e. need to create a custom connector, API and swagger file to achieve it.   I would like to upload Pen Input to SharePoint as an image, but no luck. Is there a third party or Flow template and PowerApps connector for this functionality? instead, have to hack and create one.   ... View more

When you create a picklist, there is a Name field and a Display Name field. The Name field is sort of a unique identifier, like PersonName and the Display Name field is the natural way a User would see the value, like Your Name. Unfortunately, when you build a Power App, the Picklist displays the Name field. Users went to see a friendly field name, not the field the database designer uses. ... View more

I received an answer that The 'EntityName (Views)' is not supported within Dropdown box when using PowerApps/ CDS/ Dynamics 365.  I think it would have been nice to have the possibility to make the EntityName (Views) available as list so the user can for example select a view in a dropdown which a gallery reuses in Filter( [datasource], [Entity view] ) ?

Surely, the whole point of having a 'Display Name' element in a picklist is for it to be used in a selection list to the user. Why is there no ability and the default 'Name' element is used instead. This makes no sense. ... View more
