@pp365 You should be able to achieve what you want using a modern command as per Scott's YouTube video. To get intellisense to behave, I think you need to refresh the dataset that's associated with the 'Component Library' associated with your customised command bar. Follow these steps to do so:
1. In the Modern Command Bar designer, click the 'Open component library' button:
2. In the tab/window that pops up, click the Data icon in the left hand navigation strip
3. Click the ellipses corresponding to your Dataverse table and in the context menu that pops up click the 'Remove' button
4. Use the 'Add data' button to re-add your target Dataverse table
5. Save and then Publish the updated component library using the buttons in the top-right
6. If you then refresh your browser window/tab with the command designer, you should be able to reference your newly added columns in your PowerFx expression.
I think you will need to follow these steps every time the schema of the table changes and you need to make use of those changed components in your PowerFx.
In your response to your follow-up question, the JavaScript approach could also achieve the same outcome, but it's a more pro-code approach and so is more difficult to achieve. Scott's course is great and takes it one step further, writing TypeScript rather than JavaScript directly, which is best practice and has a whole heap of other benefits improving overall developer experience by catching errors at design time, standardised JavaScript generation, etc. It's a really advanced approach and requires quite a bit of setup and configuration. I've known of Scott's course for a while, and often dip into bits of it every now and again but have never run through it end to end, but definitely something I need to do.
Hope this helps.
