As of Aug 18 2021, Internet Explorer is not supported by Microsoft 365 apps and services, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Microsoft Power Platform. So, even if, somehow, it’s still there due to the corporate polices, it’s probably the last time I see a web page in the Internet Explorer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-ca/lifecycle/announcements/internet-explorer-11-support-end-dates From here on, there is… Read More »
There seems to be new mapping behavior in my environment as of this morning – it could be a feature, but it could also be a bug. But it’s something to be aware of. Notice how, when creating a new record to populate a lookup, I’m getting one of the fields (“Feature Book”) populated automatically:… Read More »
With the performance insights feature available in preview now, I was wondering what is it I could possibly learn about one of my applications? For the most part, what I found there is not, necessarily, actionable. There are a few informational messages, and there are a few warnings; however, there is one insight that I… Read More »

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 »
Power Automate word templates are much more fun to work with than the classic D365 word templates, yet we can happily use them in the model-driven app with a bit of javascript: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/power-automate-word-templates-in-model-driven-apps-forms-integration/ However, how are we supposed to deploy flows containing “Populate a Microsoft Word Template” action in different environments so that each environment… Read More »
