Every now and then, you may need a plugin to run for any entity, but, when registering a plugin step using the plugin registration tool, you may notice that you are unable to filter such steps by attribute since that option is simply disabled: Which makes sense, since, for the most part, columns are table-specific,… Read More »
I was trying to test some security settings the other day and ran into the message below while trying to open a model-driven app using the usual …/main.aspx?appid=… url: This is not an error message I would have seen before, so I had to retry different security roles etc, all to no avail. It was… Read More »
I’d say there is a disclaimer for this post – there might be a better way to do what I’m about to explain, but, well, maybe it’s the only way. So, every now and then, you’d be using FetchXml with Liquid, and you’d be getting an error: Liquid error: Exception has been thrown by the… Read More »

There are two different onLoad events in the client-side XRM framework, and I did not know that… Well, it’s better to find it out late than never 😊 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/executioncontext/geteventsource Here is how it works: Actually, I used to think OnLoad does what OnDataLoad do. Maybe it used to do it? Not sure. Either way, when… Read More »
Turns out we can’t use process.setStatus freely to finish a business process at any time – it has to be in the final stage. Otherwise, we can only abort a process. Come to think of it, it is neither too obvious, nor too counter-intuitive. Either way, the code below works, it seems: formContext.data.process.setStatus(“finished”, result =>… Read More »
We don’t always get to choose the technology we work with in the Power Platform world. Strict security, missing subscriptions, long approvals… if you’ve ever worked on the government projects, you know the drill. However, sometimes, this leads to a very unusual combination of tools and technologies, and, in this series of posts, I’m going… Read More »
