There are polymorphic lookups now, but what’s the big deal? Well, I don’t have to go far to find an example of where it might be helpful. Here is a screenshot from the actual model-driven form on one of the projects I’ve been working on: There are 3 different lookups on that screen, yet only… Read More »
With the recent announcement, one thing is clear: Power Apps licensing has never been cheaper. With no licence minimums or other purchase requirements, pretty much any organization should be able to start using Power Apps now: Although, as it usually is with licensing, there is a fly in the ointment.

It’s been great attending Ali Youssefi’s EasyRepro workshop this week (and it’s also been great to be invited into those workshops by the client to start with).

And, no, it’s not a typo. It’s easy to have a solution that you can’t import – as long as some dependencies are missing in both the solution being imported and in the target environment, such a solution cannot be imported. But we also can’t export some solutions – I don’t see such errors often,… Read More »
