Hi, can you please add a "go to definition of collection" to be redirected to the first Collect(collection, item) and a "usage of Collection" too. The same way It's done with Variables. Thx.

Hi everyone, I'd like to suggest something that has probably been considered by all of as at some point: custom themes. How come we only have a few presets? Our companies have their own image, logos, colors, fonts... Whenever I want to reflect this on any new element I insert I must manually specify all its properties to match my conceptual theme. Power BI already has this functionality. I'd love to see it in Power apps too. It would have a high positive impact in our productivity. Thank you!

Is there a reason why Timer control is not available in Custom Page ? Or can we have it sooner ? Thanks

Powerapps to be able to control the link displayed in the browser address: such as, remove a parameter from the link without relaunching the app. Situation: first we will open the app via an email link which appends &AgreementID=1234 but after the intial load we want to remove that parameter in case the user refreshes the link using the browser button or clicking Enter in the address bar. An example: We send automatic email notifications to users, so they can approve or reject a contract (agreement). They click on the link in the email, such as https://apps.powerapps.com/play/b30e1c3a-1111-2222-3333-4444&AgreementID=3333 which is the link to the app + parameter for redirecting to that unique agreement page in Power Apps. But after the user enters the app we want to remove the parameter "AgreementID=3333" from the link, so that if the user refreshes the page from the browser they don't get redirected to that particular Agreement but to the normal home screen of the app. Current solution is to Navigate/Launch to the same app but without the parameter appended to the link, but this is a time consuming process, that requires the app to reload one extra time.

I just found out that the command pac paportal upload XXX only adds new files and does not do a differential and subsequent removal of any old code that is in the target environment. I would like to suggest the addition of an -o overwrite flag similar to that on pac paportal download XXX. This would essentially make portal uploads work like managed solutions. As we are uploading an entire website as code it should not be too difficult to work out the diff and delete out the records that do not form part of the current website content. This is really import for healthy and secure DevOps practices.

Currently the language pack is limited. For example we had a use case than required it-ch ->this is the swiss italian language and we noticed it's missing. Could we extend the language pack to include different regions? We have countries with more then one language spoken. For example in Switzerland we have 4 official languages and a lot of people speak only 1 of them. It will be really nice to have more granularity: For example: it-CH ->Italian fr-CH ->French de-CH -> Deutch

Copying style's from a button etc, and pasting it onto other buttons.

As you are working on screens and defining variables, it is easy to loose track of the current value. It would be nice if above the bread crumb in the canvas maker app edit mode there was a small terminal window that showed the current variables (both global and context) and the current value.

Cutting and pasting controls or whole screen layouts between apps is a great way to save time and effort in app development. However, whenever controls are pasted into a new screen their positions are adjusted, usually moving them 40 pixels further down and right of the original. For screen layouts this means going through every pasted control and adjusting it back to its original position. This request is to maintain control positions when cutting and pasting.

Our design team and UX designers are mostly familiar with Figma to design component for an App. However, our Dev team would like to use Power App to develop the app in the cloud.. Given current features in PowerApp, there is no easy way to import already built Figma components into PowerApp for the dev to add functionality to the component.. Please create a plug and play solution to add Figma components/layers (third party components) into PowerApp easily.. Given this new feature in PowerApp (Figma component import), our design and dev team can work together within PowerApp environment, without replicating the elements of an already built components, which would speed up the App building process in PowerApp by a lot... Thanks,

Currently, model-driven app cannot be deleted by the author. It should be permitted to the author as the actual owner.

Dataverse for Teams is great. It helps us to leverage the power of a real database (and more) for the data we store. However, when it comes to automated deployment or general maintenance of D4T apps, you always need to do it manually since there is no/limited API available, which ultimately may lead to errors. Using CI/CD in an enterprise environment is crucial. That is the only thing that currently keeps us from using D4T intensively. With this idea, I suggest enabling APIs for D4T or offering some DevOps actions with which we could make use of a professional deployment/maintenance of D4T apps.

Currently the a ction Send an HTTP request to Azure DevOps supports a limited set of scopes that do NOT include the scope vso.wiki, which is required to work with Azure DevOps Wikis. Please add support for the scope vso.wiki to the Azure DevOps-connector, so that the action Send an HTTP request to Azure DevOps can be used to work with Wikis in Azure DevOps.

Whenever we use SQL Server connection in PowerApps and share it for users (Read), every user can read Server Name, Database Name and Table/View Name from the connection in Developer tools (F12 in browser). This is a security issue by our company's standards and I would like to know maybe you could work a way to hide this information? Below are steps to reproduce this case: 1. Create a power app with SQL Server connection and connect data to a table/view. 2. Play the app, open developer tools (F12) and check the Network tab. 3. Clear information in the Network tab and refresh page. 4. Look for Request URL blob:https://pa-content.azureedge.net/3a823424-37b5-443f-a6d9-f17ea650daa4 In the response you will find an URL: @odata.context: "https://europe-002.azure-apim.net/apim/sql/2846f5096cf34a958607fd1f4a3ab4af/$metadata#datasets('SERVER_NAME,DATABASE_NAME')/tables('TABLE_NAME')/items"

We need a new Component Type. It would be great to have the ability to create Function components. Components that have properties that would be treated as function calls, where we pass parameters and return data. When using these components in an App they are SINGLE INSTANCE, so the same component is shared across all screens. These components can be used to globally handle data structures, so there is only a SINGLE place where data structures are initialized, cleared, updated, etc. This would reduce code duplication tremendously. Each function could be marked as Sync or Async depending on need. Could pass and return complex data structures as needed. It would also be nice to be able to use connections within the component. This would allow the complete encapsulation of all data handling withing a single component thus allowing the app to purely focus on UX. Thoughts?

I would like to see at least the following expansions to the attachment control: Ability to show file names that are already attached to a record. Ability to show the Number of the files queued up to attach or Number of files already attached to an existing record. Ability to pragmatically scroll the list files up or down. Ability to disable/enable the scrollbar Ability to Switch the scrollbar to the left or right side of the control Ability to place the "AddAttachmentText" text at the top or bottom of the control. I prefer at the top. And, finally, perhaps the most useful. Display the files queued up to list in a table format. This could be implemented automatically or perhaps give the control and choice to the user(developer). The files piling on top of oneanother is just not useful or pleasing to the eye.

A simple Time Picker input. 12 or 24 hour option. But if you want to get fancy: Maybe have it attached to the Date Picker as well. Then based on the DateTimeFormat selected, it adjusts the way you pick. Current Date Picker already allows you to format date as .ShortTime as well as .ShortTime24. Which makes no sense.. each date is defaulted at 12:00AM or 0:00. Just a tease. Stuck using a series of dropdowns at the moment 😕 Functional but not as pretty.

Rich text editor should contain Table & image as options to add. Currently we are not able to add table & Image in Rich text editor in PowerApps SharePoint forms

According to the Power Apps delegable functions and operations for SharePoint document, many functions and data types are delegable for SharePoint, but that's not the case for SharePoint calendars. This limitation is not noted in the document. Since SharePoint calendars are just another SharePoint list, I assume this to be a bug with the Power App connector. This bug is easily recreated. Connect a Power App gallery to a SharePoint calendar and use this formula for the Items source: Filter('SharePointCalendar', EventDate >= Date(2021, 8, 1)). You will get the Delegation Warning and 500/2000 record limit. This same formula works fine on a DateTime column is a standard SharePoint list. Please fix! Thanks

When migrating a solution to another environment or another tenant using environment variables, in Power Apps applications that define environment variables (both sites and lists) as data sources, by changing the internal data of environment variables, it is convenient because you can change the data source of the app without editing the inside of the app. However, if the data source is updated to the latest state on the edit screen of the application in this condition, information about the token held as the internal data of the application and the data source of the migration source (URL, data source name, GUID, etc.) will result in an error. However, despite the error, the data source information is over-ridded (confirmed by the internal code of the application) by the internal information of environment variables (two types). The behavior of the application (Data create, edit, delete, etc.) works fine, and the application is migrated in a state where it functions without problems. We have tried the above behavior with various accounts and tenants, but all have the same behavior, and it is the current expected behavior that an error occurs. Even though it is used by the recommended method, the error cannot be removed, so we think that the situation must be improved immediately. For example, you can think of various methods such as implementing a mechanism that automatically deletes the data source information of the migration source at the time of export, or implementing a mechanism that filters and removes the information of the relevant part at the time of import and then imports. Therefore, please make improvements to quickly overcome the current situation where errors occurs.
