You may have heard that we can now use Monitor with model-driven applications. It can provide some very useful context about the client-side behavior of your apps, but there is one option which may be particularly useful when troubleshooting end-user issues. It seems this process is supposed to be done through the “Invite” button below:… Read More »
Wow, we’ve been asking about it for a (long) while: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-column-comparison-through-fetchxml-sdk-and-odata/ Do you want to do column comparison with Fetch? You can do it now – it’s only supported for a few conditions so far: Equal NotEqual GreaterThan GreaterEqual LessThan LessEqual And it’s not, yet, supported in the UI query building tools (Advanced Find).… Read More »
I was looking at this post by CRM Ninja, and it hit me that, even though that post had a different purpose, it had an interesting workaround for the “one relationship only” problem which happens when trying to add the same relationship more than once to the query.
