THE VISION: Direct connector from Powerapps to Snowflake DW.   THE MISSION:  Not actually a new idea, as per the post in the Flow uservoice in *2018*:  Snowflake Connector  And then again, with no response other than "Do it yourself" earlier this year: Snowflake Connection to Powerapps  PowerBI has accessed it since 2016: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-enables-connectivity-to-snowflake/ Snowflake Data Warehouse is even on Azure: See attached!   THE GOAL: Please make it available as an in-app data connector to powerapps creators, thankyou. ...

Super idea :   One should be able to create a trigger on a SQL on-Prem server. And then PowerApps should be able to update the column in the target table without getting any "The requested operation is invalid. Server Response : Microsoft SQL :The target table XXX of the DML statement can not have any enabled triggers if the statement contains an OUTPUT clause without INTO clause."   Any flow workaround won't work because on prem. Or else, just tell me (I wish i were wrong so bad !) 😉 ... View more

I know I can add  PowerApps app to Teams team.   I also know  I can pass  parameters to PowerApp using deep linking  (custom parameters in URL). I want to be able to combine the two and enable parametrized apps in Teams.   I think there's a solution to this problem using Flow, but it would be nice to enable editing of the contentUrl and websiteUrl from the Teams UI.  Currently these URLs (for PowerApps tabs) are not modifiable. ...

Site column is a lookup column in a parent site Site Column is added to a list in a subsite The column does not appear in the PowerApps Data Source for the list It does however appear in the standard modern list form and they also appear when using InfoPath This is a serious issue for site architectures that have multiple subsites inheriting site columns and content types from the parent site.  I have no choice but to use InfoPath until this can be corrected.   ...

The MySQL connector only supports on-premises connections, so we cannot connect if there is a database on the cloud server. I feel sorry that we cannot use the MySQL connector if in case of like using hosting service. ... View more

I would love to have the ability to pull slides from separate PowerPoint files (like in a SharePoint Online list or some other document library) and assemble or combine slides from separate files into one slide deck that a user can download.   Here is the scenario: A presenter has to deliver a presentation.  The topics vary for what the presenter has to cover.  The marketing department has already created content around the topics and published them internally at the company for employees to use in their conversations with customers.  The marketing department also wants to avoid users from showing outdated/irrelevant content as well as prevent inconsistent messaging across their organizations.   By using a PowerApp, the presenter could "shop" for the topics that need to be covered via a PowerApp.  And, once the user has selected the topics to cover, the content could be assembled by combining these slides into a single deck that will always contain the most up-to-date content, the most relevant topics, and saves the presenters time from having to develop their own content or search for decks across the company. Essentially, do what you can do with VBA (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/overview/powerpoint/object-model) ... View more

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). ...

Context: Customers and partners can currently use application accounts (cliend Id / client secret) in Azure DevOps for their Dynamics 365 CE implementations, to automate deployments and offer a fully automated CI/CD ALM story. This works well with solution deployments and a number of scripted actions done in PowerShell.   Challenge: Data Export Service API doesn't currently support application accounts authentication. Instead, it requires a user account (login / password).   Ask: Can Data Export Service API support for application accounts be added to the backlog / roadmap? As of now this prevents a fully automated deployment of Data Export Service profiles and configuration. ... View more

Power apps could be a very good CRUD (create,update,delete) app if it could execute on premise/cloud stored procedures in SQL Server i.e. execute a procedure to create and have the database generated ID returned.    Create an update by calling a proc by passing in a ID for the update. Many years ago I created an Access app that provided the forms for this scenario but it involved writing a bit of code.  It's a very powerful scenario as It allows the DBA to control and govern the database and opens up much more flexibility with database based controls. If the UI can execute a procedure and process returning data I can see how this can work.   Appreciate you don't to make Power App an all purpose development platform but this in my opinion would take it up another level. ...

At the moment Launch() can launch the browser with a link to a file in OneDrive etc., but not to a file from the Local file system. For example, Launch("file://D:\test.html") does not work. So, we need to 1. Add support for accessing the local file system (to read and also to write). 2. Ability to lauch other programs also. For example, when we retrieve a pdf stored in AzureSQL, we should be able to Launch() Adobe Reader, passing the retrieved file as a parameter. ... View more

I was trying to use the Smartsheet connector, and I found it to be quite non-useful.  Other than to get metadata that I'm not sure what I would even need, and the ability to work with "discussions", I dont know really what I would use this for.   My basic expectation for a connector like this was to be able to access and filter data in the sheets.  I would like to see the ability to handle a Smartsheet like I would any other tabular dataset.  Searching, filtering, modifying, and creating data (in my opinion) would be the fundamental need for a connector to Smartsheet.  The other stuff, like discussions, metadata, etc would seem like it would be better as secondary.     Thank you. ...
