It was great to see how N:N lookup PCF control has sparked some interest, but there are still a few things that could(and probably should) be added. For example, what if I wanted to make it work when creating a new record? Normally, a subgrid won’t event show up on the new record form. But,… Read More »
If you ever wanted to have your own multiselect optionset which would be utilizing an N:N relationship behind the scene, here you go: It works and behaves similarly to the out-of-the-box multiselect optionset, but it’s not an option set. It’s a custom PCF control that’s relying on the N:N relationship to display those dropdown values… Read More »
Looking at the 2020 Release Wave 1 features, it’s kind of hard to figure out which ones will be more useful. Somehow, all of those I’ve read through so far seem to have the potential to strike a chord with those working with Power Platform / Dynamics 365, so it’s going to be a very… Read More »
Here is what I wanted to set up today: There is a custom SkillSet entity that has an “Advisor” field. That field is a lookup to the out-of-the-box contact entity. However, unlike with a regular lookup, I want that “Advisor” field to only display contacts which are connected to the current skillset through the “Expert”… Read More »

The main difference between those two roles is that you may need to add Dynamics 365… Read More »

One of the solutions had a workflow which required reference data. So it should not have been included into that solution to start with, but, since it was, it could not be activated. We’ve… Read More »
Have you ever used a Word Template in Power Apps? If you have not, have a look at this documentation page. For the model-driven apps, it’s one of the easiest ways to quickly create standardized word documents for your entities. Although, Word templates do come with some limitations – I won’t go into the details… Read More »
Sometimes I think that Microsoft Cloud is not quite a cloud – it’s, actually, more like an ocean (which is, probably, similar to how things are with other “clouds” to be fair). As an on-premise consultant, I did not use to appreciate the depth of Microsoft cloud at all. As a Power Platform consultant, I… Read More »
Have you tried Power Platform dataflows yet? I would not be too surprised if you have not – I had not tried them until this weekend either. Might not have completely figured them out yet, but here is a quick rundown so far. Basically, a data flow is a ETL process that takes data from… Read More »
Earlier today, a colleague of mine who tends to spend his days developing Power Automate Flows lately showed me something that seemed confusing at first. Now having dug into it a bit more I think it makes sense, but let’s see what you think. Here is a Flow where I have an HTTP Trigger, a… Read More »
