Connection references have been released (well, not quite, but they are in public preview, which is close enough), and, from the ALM support perspective, it might be one of the most anticipated features for those of us who have been struggling with all those connections in the Flows (chances are, if you are using Flows,… Read More »
How do we add file download button to the model-driven apps? To start with, why would we even want to do it? There can be some interesting scenarios there, one being to allow your users to download PowerAutomate-generated word templates (see my previous post). That, of course, requires some custom development, since you may want… Read More »
Document Templates have been available in model-driven apps for a while now – they are integrated with the model-driven apps, and it’s easy for the users to access them. They do have limitations, though. We cannot filter those documents, we can only use 1 level of relationships, on each relationship we can only load 100… Read More »
What seems to be the most popular reason why a business rule would not be working? There is very little that can really break in the business rules, except for one thing: we can include certain fields into the business rule conditions, and, then, forget to add those fields to the context (which can be… Read More »
I am wondering if PowerAutomate flows can really be part of CI/CD when there are non-CDS connections?

Long story short, I… Read More »

Have you heard of the PowerStorms? As Microsoft keeps changing application development climate to the better, some fascinating things start happening around the Globe. Four of us happened to find ourselves right in the center of one of those on July 16 – that’s when the first ever PowerStorm session happened! There were four of… Read More »
It seems to be very common when there is a project which is trying to implement SCRUM, and which can never really do it because of the inherent problem which occurs when there is a dedicated QA team. SCRUM assumes QA happens within the sprint, but, when scrum development team is different from the QA… Read More »
So, CDS is DataFlex now. Actually, it’s important to call it Microsoft Dataflex since there is a separate non-Microsoft product called DataFlex. It’s the second rebranding of what we used to know as XRM, but it may be the one that will stick for a little longer (I know what you are thinking… but we… Read More »
