Property-set not available on canvas app

[Anonymous]

Hi all.

I´m trying to create a grid control that will work as a matrix. For now, my manifest has only one dataset, but I will add more later.

During development and test using the harness, everything works as expected, but when I add it to a canvas, I can´t use the property-set. (see images attached)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<manifest>

  <control namespace="MatrixControl" constructor="MatrixControl" version="1.3.0" display-name-key="MatrixControl" description-key="MatrixControl description" control-type="standard">    

    <data-set name="yAxisDataSet" display-name-key="yAxisDataSet_Display_Key">

      <property-set name="yAxisCode" display-name-key="yAxisCode_Display_Key" description-key="yAxisCode_Desc_Key" of-type="SingleLine.Text" usage="bound" required="true" />

    </data-set>    

    <resources>

      <code path="index.ts" order="1"/>      

      <css path="css/MatrixControl.css" order="1" />      

    </resources>

  </control>

</manifest>

Am I doing anything wrong?

Hi @Anonymous , 

The property-set property is only available for Model-Driven Apps. Here is the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/manifest-schema-reference/property-set

Also more datasets  in a PCF are an issue right now for canvas apps: the components cannot be imported.

Kind regards,
Diana

Thanks @DianaBirkelbach .

I was indeed having problems importing this control with more datasets. Now I know it is not possible.

@Anonymous  . we are constantly refreshing the canvas PCF - Check this out for properties set sample  - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/sample-controls/data-set-component-canvas

Note that the configuration needs special treatment . 

Also multiple data-sets right now are blocked in import but we are working on it.  @DianaBirkelbach great article on multiple data sets btw 🙂

Thank you @HemantG  for pointing out the sample about dataset properties in the canvas app!  I must have missed that. It's great that is works! 🙂

I'm happy to hear that the multiple datasets for CanvasApps are on the roadmap! Really looking forward!

Thank you so much for your nice words!

Kind regards,

Diana

Hi @HemantG 

Thanks for your advice. Now I found the property inside the Advanced tab.

Regarding multiple datasets, do you know when it will be possible?

[HemantG]

It is in the backlog, dates are not locked yet as we are focusing on the Teams Embedding scenarios. Majority of work is in the studio configuration experience, will try to prioritize it. Log feature req at https://aka.ms/PCFIdea
