Would it be possible to have not just revision history, but versions of canvas apps, like DEV, SIT, UAT and PROD? For example when making a new app, we get the option to use full development options. So I can make my app in Dev mode, then when ready I can promote to SIT, UAT, but keeping the Dev one intact, then once testing is done, we can promote to PROD, where it is published to live etc. I know we have Save / Publish, but thats largely a Dev / live thing and I have to go live in order to give to testing. Also I know that I can create separate apps, i.e. App - DEV, App - SIT etc, but promoting the apps and updating them is a pain with the current tools. It would also be nice if we could prevent changes in Live until it has gone through the stages of SIT and UAT. It could even be one stage called testing, but ultimately, I would hope to get 3 links, one for SIT, UAT and PROD, but they all come from one app with the 4 versions. I hope that makes sense, I even have some ideas on what it could look like! ... View more

Power App Connectors currently doesn't allow for generic users as connection users for connectors. For example if I use SharePoint connector in my app for SharePoint list and share that app with users in my organisation when they open the app first time it asks them to create new connection using their own credential. That seems like a very bad practice where you need to give all the end users access to all underlying resources. In an ideal programming world you don't share database connection credential with end users for them to use your application. Power Apps should allow connectors to use generic ( licensed if that is waht Microsoft want ) user and then all the users who are using that app should be able to use that connector with that generic user as the underlying connection.   For example I create a Expense claim app using SharePoint list and share it with everyone in the organisation. For all those users to use that Power App I have to make sure all those users have full permission on that SharePoint list. In other words your underlying data is not secure as any user can see any other user's data in SharePoint list. If there is a generic user that Power App can use then you can lock up that SharePoint list to that specific user  and no other user have  access to it.   ... View more

As an ISV, we are using PowerBI embedded using app owns data approach. The app has a service account in our AD, and that service account has permissions on our PowerBI reports.   Using that account, we generate an embed token to show the PowerBI report to our application users (that don't have an AAD login).   However, when we include a PowerApp tile in the report, the user gets promped to log in, even when our service account has access to this PowerApp. ...

I use PowerApps to quickly prototype solutions. Boom, there said it. During RAD MS Teams call sessions I will mock up a working prototype application. During this time I capture Requirements, Stories, etc. in Label fields on the screens.    I would like a new Product Feature of PowerApps Canvas Design to Capture functional Requirements - and optionally link or create a New PBI or Item in Azure Dev Ops.   Requirements Capture (In Canvas Design) New in PowerApps is the ability to Capture Business and Technical Requirements. PowerApps can be used as a Rapid Application Development environment or Prototyping Tool that quickly enables citizen developers to capture requirements right on screen. This enables user design sessions both a visualization of what can be done and requirements document simultaneously.  Features Optionally - Configure your PowerApp to link to a specified project in Azure Dev Ops. (Configuration found on File Settings Blade in PowerApps. Once linked to ADO Project - Create Features, Stories, Tasks (or other Items) from within your requirement on the PowerApps Screen Designers can quickly create Rich Annotations and Text that are automatically numbered and visible on screen during design. Requirements are always hidden during Run time Requirements can be (toggled) hidden or shown during design with checkmark in the new Tab called requirements.  You can Pin a Requirement on Screen in Design or hide it however the Requirement will always be visible in the list of Requirements in new Requirements Tab next to [Screens Components Requirements] bold item is new in this release A complete list of All requirements Grouped by Screen in tree view appear within the Requirements new tab You can optionally download the requirements as a CSV file or XLSX file. ...

Allow change to default Font, Size, Color settings by exposing them in the App Properties setting list along with other startup properties. It is not sustainable to have to manually change design properties for every field on every form (font, size, color).    Please expose these settings on the App Screen (in Treeview), as configurable properties along with ConfirmExit, MinScreenHeight, OnStartup, etc... Ideally, create components them referencing these components (Size is App.DisplayFormSize instead of  hardcoding a value)  But even if they could be created out of the gate with my default values it would save a lot of time. The values I want to be able to control are: DisplayForm Font DisplayForm Size DisplayForm Label Width   (I don't always need it taking up 40% of my screen)  DisplayForm Text Color DisplayForm Font DisplayForm Fill Color DisplayForm DataCard Height -- The same list for EditForm -- Gallery Font Gallery Title 1 Size Gallery Title 2 Size  Gallery Title 3 Size Gallery Text Color Gallery Fill Color   If the holdup is not wanting to change the values within the application during the run, then don't allow it. I'd even settle for these values only being utilized at create time -- where the value on the card/field/gallery is still hard-coded, but it's hardcoded to MY default value set at create time.    It's hard to make the case this is more efficient/cheaper to use than a .NET development effort when a developer can do this with a simple stylesheet setting/change, and I spend HOURS painstakingly changing each field (and then changing it again when requirements change)   ...

We're looking to pass in variables of type "Option Set" into a component. Such that we can use these to build custom form controls using custom components.   There's a huge value to using custom components to create custom form components including reducing the repeat effort on formatting/layout, and simplification of forms controls usage patterns.   We are currently limited to using tables to pass through "Option Sets" into the component. This makes it complex and non-intuitive if you are trying to pass the option IDs of an option set through to a component. This is important because if I'm looking to build a custom form control using components, the component needs to know the Option IDs to pass back via one of its Output variables, such that the form controls selected option(s), so I can tell the wider app what item(s) is/are selected in the form control. If I only pass back the Option Set text labels, this is no good, as this cannot be used directly to patch back to the data source.   "Option Set" type referred to mentioned per below link: Power-Fx/data-types.md at main · microsoft/Power-Fx · GitHub ...

Really love this app but there are a couple of things that could make it easier to use. I would like to be able to customize columns on the Tracking List. Priority isn't important for the project I am creating and would like to be able to remove it. Also, to be able to duplicate work items (copy and paste kind of thing) would make creation of those quicker and less tedious. ... View more

On export of a solution or app it would be nice if the structure of any required data sources (CDS, excel tables, SharePoint lists, etc.) could be stored so that they could be used on import to a new  environment to auto create empty versions of all the data sources (user would be prompted for locations to place the new data sources). This would mean that any imported solution or app would be operational on import. If there were an option to select on export whether data in each data sources should be replicated that would be icing on the cake as it would allow the user to select what they want to transfer. ...

It is really a lot of work, to repeat same functions all the time and to keep an overview where you call which create process. For example if you would like to refresh a collection from sharepoint which only contains some columns you need to write (Europe Style):   Collect(MyColl; {Id:0; Title:"Empty"});; Clear(MyColl) ForAll(SharepointList; Patch(MyColl;Defaults(MyColl);{ Id: Id; Title: Title }))   A simple function to write own functions which can be called every time would be helpful. Example for syntax: DefineFunction(FunctionName; Function; Parameters[optional]) CallFunction(FunctionName; Paramenter[optional]) DeleteFunction(FunctionName)   Simple but great. ... View more

Hey,   I've been trying to implement the  "OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of flow" mentioned in the link below using a token generated by the Portals implicit grant flow sample.  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/v2-oauth2-on-behalf-of-flow https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/oauth-implicit-grant-flow   I'm able to get the user authenticated in a .NET application using the standard .NET code sample to validate and Javascript sample to generate token in Portal, however, when I try to use the the MSAL method  ConfidentialClientApplication.AcquireTokenOnBehalfOf()    I keep getting an error stating "AADSTS5002723: Invalid JWT token. No certificate thumbprint nor keyId specified in token header."    I tried constructing the ConfidentialClientApplication using a client secret, client certificate, and client assertion, but always I get the same error.    Upon further inspection of the implicit grant flow token retrieved by Portal in jwt.io, I'm beginning to think it is malformed since it always misses either the "kid" or "x5t" properties in the token header, which is supposed to contain the thumbprint per    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/id-tokens https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/access-tokens   It looks like the portal token is actually signed, because we can verify the signature using the public key of the portal, but no thumbprint is included in the header.    I think this lack of a thumbprint in the portal implicit grant flow token makes it unusable for OOB grant flow using MSAL, and I'm wondering if Microsoft has any plans to remediate this? ...

Within Canvas apps it is currently not possible to programmatically retrieve metadata on query executions. This lack of functionality makes it impossible to know if a query is still running (e.g. system waits for the response of CDS or a Flow) or if a query is already completed and it is therefore save to use the resulting collection. Use cases which currently cannot be fulfilled due to this limitation - Displaying own messages informing the user to be patient until a query completes    Please note that the sliding 4-dot-bar at the top of the screen displayed during operations is often    insufficient. Users often overlook the animation and therefore miss that something is going on in the    background. It is necessary to be able to control user interactions more efficiently, allowing to include    own animations or messages. Especially during time consuming operations the default animation    should be replaceable. - Performing several actions in a row    E.g. running a filter operation on a data source and a second operation based on the result of the first    query - Executing multiple queries in e.g. "OnVisible" in parallel and evaluate results later on.    E.g. within a Timer control it is currently impossible to know if queries are still running (system is waiting for    a response). The resulting collection can be simply empty because no result was found or it can be empty    because the query didn't finish.    In short: It's important to know if all required collections are ready to use and contain the final result    to avoid potential data loss! Suggested solutions - Add "OnQuery", "OnReady" and "OnFailure" event handlers on all controls accepting collections,    especially galleries and lists. - Add an "IsReady()" function accepting collections returning true if the underlying query is complete    (result is ready to be used) - Add a "Metadata()" function accepting collections returning an object with metadata on the last query    execution, e.g. if the underlying query was executed successfully or failed. - Optional add-on functionality of a metadata object:    - Provide further information if a paging limit was hit and more records need to be retrieved.    - Provide a method to SIMPLY load the next page into an existing collection.   ...

I have a gallery connected to a collection that is pulling items from a SharePoint list. The gallery includes a toggle control tied to a Yes/No column in the collection. When the collection gets created and items load in the gallery, the OnCheck or OnUncheck event gets triggered simply because of the existing value in the collection/SharePoint list. The same happens after saving an item in the gallery when the item re-loads from the collection. I am using those properties for the toggle to do certain things when the user changes the value with the toggle but do not want those same things to happen when the item is just loaded with an existing value. ...
