Currently, customisation of PowerApps/Dynamics portal heavily relies on JavaScript. PCF is coming to canvas app too. Please bring PCF to PowerApps portal, making it one component framework to rule all model-driven app, cavas app, and PowerApps portal, in the future.

Currently, it is not possible to define a property for attribute type Lookup. Please add support for this type

Based on Use SetNotification to show error messages? could I suggest that you make it possible for a powerapp component framework field component to flag it's value as invalid and stop the page from saving until the error is corrected I understand that this is currently possible using the clientapi but that requires additional work and a code (Javascript) or low code (Business rules) solution where this method would allow a zero code solution where the only thing required would be to add the field to the form, change the field type to the component and add the appropriate validation within the controls parameters / configuration.

I’ve noticed the font and sizes aren’t taking the standard CRM Fonts and Sizes. I could add this into the CSS class but it would be better if fonts are inherited.

I want harness page to load the sample data from JSON files so that I can simulate the dataset component using data downloaded from Dynamics Web API. JSON files can be placed under pcf-script. Expected result is attached.

While experimenting with PCF development I have noticed that it is not currently possible to bind properties to the OOB address fields (e.g. address1_line1, address2_line1, etc). Could this be enabled? As currently, the only workarounds are to duplicate the address fields on the entity and then how JavaScript and/or workflow to synchronise the data between the fields, or to use the webapi to retrieve and update values.

Please add support for Multi-select Option Set for PowerApps Component Framework (PCF). As of now it only supports regular option set. This will help community build more useful components.

Currently, it is only possible to bind an attribute to a TwoOptions property. It would be nice to allow customizers to use a value of their choice

Including own CSS with custom control is nice, but this prevent the control from changing with the L&F of the App it is used in. Would be great if a list of CSS-classes were available to use in controls, where the actual styling is controlled by the parent App. This should include font (family, size, color), bordercolor, backgroundcolor, etc.

For PCF development, can you please provide a way to use the sdk WebApi and Utility.getEntityMetadata inside the harness. This could be some ideas for this purpose, but maybe you have some more: Of course a "fake parser" based on some sample data would be best (something like FakeXrmEasy does for PlugIns (https://dynamicsvalue.com/home), because this way we could make also unitests. There could be some other scenarios like have a connection to a CRM/CDS System somewhere. Maybe the fastest workarround would be to allow us to know at least that the page is running inside harness (some property somewhere); this way we could provide some error handling with sample data. It's not a nice approach, but maybe this could be usefull also for other stuff too (like fake context) Best regards, Diana

Hi everybody, there are some limitations of the standard controls in Canvas Apps (example: Radius properties are only available on text inputs not on combobox inputs) and in some cases you have do work with some "ugly stuff" to create something like a treeview control (it is possible but not that beautiful from a developer perspective). So I would like to suggest to make the custom control framework (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf) also available fot PowerApps Canvas and not only ModelDriven. With this we could really create a bunch of new cool apps and there could be a "marketplace" to share new custom controls with each other.

It would be great if the harness has a toggle for different screen size formats, I’ve tried F12>Device within Chrome but because the outer div size it doesn’t scale properly.

Per forum thread https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Component-Framework/Form-designer-setting-additional-methods-and-scripting-of-PCF/m-p/312074#M534 Basically, I am looking for scripting capability of PCFControls in forms. The solution can be just one extra method in the parent control instance to return the reference of the PCF. If the PCF is export class DogPCFControl implements ComponentFramework.StandardControl<IInputs, IOutputs> { .. getOutPut(){ } // additional custom method we'd like to expose to client public bark():void { alert("woof"); } } in client API: var ctrl = formContext.getControl ("someattribute"); if (ctrl.getControlType() == "customcontrol:MyNameSpace.DogPCFControl") { var mypcf= ctrl.getCustomControl(); // this is the asked feature, and can be generic enough with minimal API change mypcf.bark(); }

Please support using PCF based custom controls in Quick View forms. Some background info: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Component-Framework/Using-Custom-Control-in-Quick-Forms/m-p/294675#M271 Since quick view forms are supposed to be readonly, the framework may have to pass in some parameters to let the custom control know how to behave like a ready only control.

Need support for formulas and functions in PCF Controls that be used in Control properties like in Canvas apps. Since in future, PCF will be used for both Canvas and Model driven apps, it will be great if the function names and functionality are similar to what we have in Canvas Apps. Also, here are the links to my article, which shows an example of how to implement formulas and functions for Color Grid in PCF. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6553697681657692160/ https://srirambalajitech.blogspot.com/2019/07/color-grid-pcf-control.html?_sm_au_=iVVVfR9LFVFTLjHj

Currently, it is only possible to use a CSS file for the design . It would be nice to allow developers to use a SCSS file (nested syntax, variables...).

SriramBalaji · ‎06-26-2019

Provide PCF creators the facility to implement a custom editor for properties. Thinking of something along the lines of UITypeEditor in Windows Forms. For example, Color property will have a property editor will show a modal form with color picker.

Date picker with limited boundaries. For example a birth date only in the past, a due date only in the future and so on..
