When debugging a plugin, I often use PluginExecutionExceptions to display debugging messages. But, of course, it all works great when my development environment (or the plugin) is relatively isolated. And it all falls apart when there are other people working in the same environment, and they suddenly start seeing those error messages. There is a… Read More »
The question of setting up a branching strategy when doing development in Dataverse comes up almost inevitably. It’s a discussion that happens at a certain point, and it can be happening on the same project a number of times as people are joining the project. Would probably make sense to explain why we are having… Read More »
Yesterday, I posted a question asking what does it mean for a flow to be “within context” of the licensed application. Based on what I was able to figure out eventually, the technical answer might be somewhat different from what we could be assuming. Note: you may want to confirm licensing with Microsoft whenever you… Read More »
If you look at the Power Apps licensing guide, you will see that flow execution is, usually, permitted within app context: That same wording applies to pretty much all licence types, including Dynamics 365. And there is a corresponding note in the Power Apps Licensing FAQs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/powerapps-flow-licensing-faq Question, though. How do you read this?

They can be scoped to a certain main form, they can be scoped to a table, or they can be scoped to all forms in that table (in the latter case, this would mean the rules would also apply to all quick create forms). Model-Driven applications will… Read More »
Recently, I have been working on a training for application users which might be helpful to both users and new model-driven application makers: https://www.itaintboring.com/downloads/training/ModelDrivenApplicationsforApplicationUsers.pdf It is meant to cover model-driven application functionality from the user perspective. To be fair, there is a lot to cover, so this is not going to be absolutely exhaustive, but… Read More »
For some reason, this issue comes up every now and then. It may come up when talking to the new application users, to the new developers, to the business analysts sometimes… and, usually, it needs to be addressed quickly. Basically, it might not be obvious that different applications in the same environment might still be… Read More »
I was working on a condensed version of the licensing guide which could be presented without really going into the details, and here is what I ended up with so far (this is ignoring Virtual Agents, Power BI, and Portals) A user can get licensed for Power Platform and/or Power Automate through the following means:… Read More »
Usually, I don’t need to deal with the hacked WordPress sites. However, I’m not using hosted WordPress blog – instead, my blog is running on a hosting account where I have installed WordPress… to some extent, that gives me quite a bit of flexibility. But, on the other hand, when things go wrong, it may… Read More »
Here is another Power Platform quiz. It is the second one in a row, so it might be becoming a “thing”, but who knows. Anyways, there are 10 more questions to answer. [HDquiz quiz = “101”]
