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. ...

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.()) ...

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

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.  ...

This is a request from ticket 119080321000286.  When trying to apply a group by of address1_stateorprovince field for a lead in the CDS connector for flow, it results in a 502 error.  Per the ticket:   The same occurs on vanilla https://tp2sg901phxplain8413org1.crm10.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/leads?$apply=groupby%20((address1_stateorprovince)). For all the individual fields for composite address like address1_city, address1_line1 etc. the behavior is same. This is for other entities like contact and account also. This is by design. Group by is not allowed on these fields.   The suggested work around is to add a new field and populate it with the data from the address field.  This is a very poor work around for instances with a moderate to large number of records.  Plus the 502 error is a horrible error for someone trying to get the group by to work.   My request is that the Group By would work on all address fields (or at least the city/state/zip). ...

Currently while the excellent Dynamics CRM documentation has been forklifted into PowerApps for the CDS, the Connectors are incomplete implementations of the API and as a result there is breaking functionality for key areas- most importantly, you cannot access Activity Parties in a Canvas App. This has huge implications because Activity Data is not 1:N, it is N:N (many users can have many appointments, some of which are shared). Activity Party is the intersection entity that contains the pointers, if it was exposed in the connectors then we could at least manually stitch together requirements such as "Show me all appointments where I am a required attendee" or "show me all phone calls that went to XYZ Corp."   Currently you cannot do this easily and it creates huge issues. For instance, I want to create a basic schedule viewing app for my team's Dynamics 365 appointments. Can't do it without registering an Azure Client App complete with full OAuth and a partial implementation of the Web API to Read the Activity Party table. How is this "Low Code"??? ... View more

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

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] ) ?

As you know, the new function who allow us to add attachments into our bases (like a sharepoint list online) from powerapps is really a good point. unfortunately, lot of us work with patch() function instead of submitform, because we can personalise our forms like cascading dropdown and more. But with this function, we can’t send attachement, that could be a good point to write a syntax who send items (files) loaded into datacard to the record.   Please, create this function ASAP  , at least the upload fuction, edit and delete can be delayed...  Thanks, EDIT : Last title : Made a new way using Patch function to create/edit attachment on a record ...

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
