Power Apps Ideas

Basically that, being able to create a PDF with dynamic data from the application itself (that there is a window where the user can easily define where everything goes). I hope it doesn't sound crazy, but it seems like a good idea so I don't have to resort to Power Automate, or have to delve into HTML. Oh, and excuse my english, I had to use the translator to write this haha. Thanks and greetings from Argentina!

There should be a dark mode for the power apps editor. and the colors of the text in formula bar should be like the visual code text colors... with black or dark grey background... Something like the pics i have attached. (im using an extension to do it but it is not as good)

When will the Developer Toolkit be available for CRM 2015/Visual Studio 2013?

Dear Microsoft Support, for security purposes it would be helpful to also activate OAuth 2.0 on PowerApps Custom Connectors even if you use the local datagateway option. Currently if you don't use local data gw, you're able to select the OAuth 2.0 option on the security tab. After activating the "Use Local Data Gateway" Option on the first tab of the custom connector, you're only allowed to use Windows or Basic Auth. Without this option, effort to support security standards on local APIs can be significantly higher for a low/no code developer to integrate local data on a PowerApp solution. Best regards, Julius

When listing rows of records from the Power Automate Dataverse connector in Power Automate flows, you are able to choose an attribute value in the Dynamic Content tab. It would be really helpful to have a Formatted Value option there as well for appropriate attribute types. Right now, I use workarounds like going into the body of the Flow Step and manually getting the formatted value, or parsing the json. But, it would be much better if the formatted value was just included.

I think Microsoft is not doing a fair thing here. I am a big fan of PowerApps. We have expanded our Applications to a very great extent in our Firm. We used SQL SERVER Connector and loved it. Microsoft should have given a hint that it would make it premium. We have E3 licence and still cannot use SQL CONNECTOR. Now we need to separately invest for powerApp Plan which is unfair. We have decided to move away from PowerApps only because of this issue. Can Microsoft allow SQL Connectors for E3 Licence?

Incorporate a feature that would allow an app to utilize connected Bluetooth devices as controllers or an asset to collect data from. For instance having an app for checking out equipment that utilizes a Bluetooth rf code reader to scan an rf chip on the Piece of equipment, the app could then log the user and the piece of equipment. It could be used to access a Bluetooth camera, microphone, or any other bluetooth peripheral device for that matter.

Workflows are triggered by events (create, update, assign etc), however in many cases the ability to schedule workflows on a periodic basis is also required. CRM already has a scheduling engine, used for many system processes, as well as some user-defined processes such as Bulk Record Deletion. Why can't we open this up for schduling workflow? In addition, we could make this available to schedule plug-ins as well, providing total flexibility for developers.

It'd be great to be able to use Business Rules and Workflows with Multi-select Option Sets. The ability with Business Rules to show/hide, make required field or not, etc. would be great. As well, with Workflows being able to set a value with a Multi-select Option Set would be great.

I have several times needed to set few values at run-time (like I can with a dialog process) - and then execute that against multiple 'targets' (like I can with a workflow.) The current limitation of a Dialog Process means that I can only run it against a single record - if I need to run against multiple records, I need to create a workflow and then it isn't flexible.

It is not currently possible to move a stage or a step in the workflow designer. It would be useful to be able to move a stage or a step in your Workflow. For example, your business logic has changed or you might just want to update the order of the execution steps/stages. I would like to click on a step, drag it and drop it elsewhere in my Workflow and click save instead of recreating that step and deleting the older one. I guess one of the workaround (never tried it before) would be to manually change the XML of that Worfklow, but it would then require a "skilled" developer. This is not necessary something that your customer can easily do.

Workflow cannot currently update fields that are set to disabled on a form. The workaround is to add script to set the field to be disabled so workflow may update it. As a customiser, I'm tired of having to do this and it also increases the performance overhead when loading a form. I don't see the point of restricting workflow update steps from updating read only fields. Pretty please, enable this and save all the customisers out there some precious time.

CRM 2013 has a new process type called Action, that is meant to encapsulate complex business logic into a process that is triggered on non-CRUD mechanisms. Actions can be associated to a specific entity, but can also be defined as global. Actions can be triggered through the web service SDK and client SDK, but they cannot be triggered by other workflows or actions. This limits the value of actions because they cannot be implemented in the middle of other business processes defined in workflows. Workflows and Actions should be able to call other actions, in the same way that workflows can call other workflows. With this new capability, Actions would become incredibly useful.

The Plug-in Trace Log stores timestamps such as PerformanceExecutionStartTime as datetime fields, but milliseconds is always 0. To be able to make correct analysis of execution sequences, these fields need to include milliseconds, as it is now impossible to know in which order plugins were actually executed.

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.

Using the ITracingService only works for plug-ins registered in SandBox. Since this service is so much better/easier to use than e.g. logging to file on the server, this should be enabled also when using plug-ins not registered in isolation.

Microsoft Bookings provides appointment and scheduling, currently Microsoft has not provided the Bookings connector in Power Apps, can I have your "Vote" on this ?

In PowerApps you can set up relationships and view them in a list, but you can't get any visual datamodel. Isn't there a way to get a visual (for example in VISIO) to see the datamodel?

Visual Studio has now been released please update the Dynamics 365 Developer Tools to work with the current version

OAuth 2.0 Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC), also known in Postman as the 'Password Credentials' OAuth 2.0 Grant Type. See here for more information: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/v2-oauth-ropc The current allowed method from the Generic OAuth 2.0 - Generic Oauth 2 Identity Provider only allows for: Client id & Client secret. This does not grant access to OAuth 2.0 APIs that use a 'Password Credentials' method, using 'Username' and 'Password' This is a necessary feature addition to Custom Connectors enable developers to use API authentication that have expiration on their bearer tokens, and can only be logged in via Username and Password.
