Power Apps Ideas

joshbooker · ‎11-28-2016

SQL Server, Sharepoint, Salesforce and CDS are managed connectors having 'tabular' capabilities. This means these connectors light-up aditional PowerApps tooling at design-time for named entities such as 'choose table' pane when adding the datasource and the abilitiy to use as the datasource of a form control. There is also additional abstraction which enables the tooling to map CRUD operations for entities. None for this is documented so developers cannot presently add 'tabular' capabilities to Custom API connectors. We need the ability and guidance to create Custom API connectors having the additional abstraction needed to make PowerApps understand that the API has 'tabular' capabilities.

Would be great if PowerApps would support base64 encoding and decoding. Native would be ideal so this could drive offline. I would like to be able to communicate with an image OCR API.

Please add SSAS on-prem as data source Thank you!

It seems that you can update records in a temporal table but cannot create new records since the start_date and end_date are seen by PowerApps as required fields, whereas in fact they are generated by the system. This is a major inconvenience in implementing versioning.

As suggested by @JaredMatfess on Twitter, it'd be great to be able to get any O365 user's photo, not just the photo of the current user

Please add Oracle as an on-prem data source. Thank you!

Actually it is not possible to add a parameter to the MySQL connector connection string. For example I need to add "Old_Guids=true" parameter to be able to get data correctly from the database. Please add this ASAP. Thanks. Luca

Azure code samples available on GitHub can be used as a reference to create SDK apps using C# / Java / Python / Ruby / Powershell / Go / Javascript / C++ / simple HTTP request/ response . Please consider following same pattern and publish CDS sample code to create custom entity, relationships, picklists, fieldgroups & keys

I'd like to request the ability to share a Dynamics CRM connection the way I can share a SQL connection. The purpose is this: I have a service account that is a member of several Dynamics instances. I'd like to provide the Contacts in those instances visibility to their open Support Cases (read only) As well as allow them to Open a new Case and send messages to the the Case owner. The Contacts are usually not CRM Users of these instances, so they do not have read/write capabilities. Thus the need for the service account to be shared (but not visible). Of course, I can accomplish this with a web app with a custom swagger api, but this could be a useful scenario for a business/power user to create this without touching code.

In this case we are looking to connect a list form to a drop down with values from a library and then lookup values from that library to populate fields ie path, (link), author. The list is the driving factor in a presentation webpart which cross references documents. If we could call the "Get Link" function it would be great incase the document moves the path would remain in tact.
