In the last few days, Microsoft made some big announcements related to new features that are not available in public preview. These are the Public Preview of Custom Pages for converging mode-driven apps and canvas apps as well as the command designer for model-driven apps with Power FX (which is still in preview).
A few days ago, while performing some QA tasks on a project that I am working on, we noticed that one of our embedded Canvas Apps was no longer working on an Apple iPad device. We were getting an error that was related to cookies not being enabled on the device, but after looking at the organization policy and the settings on the device we found out that was not the case.
In a recent implementation I was working on a Canvas app that was supposed to display records to the users in a Nested Gallery. The users that would be accessing the gallery would always have permission to see the parent gallery, but not everyone had permissions to view the child gallery.
With everything that is going on around ALM and CI/CD and how to implement an automated deployment process with Azure Dev Ops of Github actions, there are still many organizations that have a lot of work that needs to be done before they can turn the switch over.
As always, I try to bring some real world scenarios that I was required to implement and modify the logic a little bit. In today’s app we will be creating a project record and adding and removing membership to the project while adding custom logic to adhere to special circumstances. You can do this of course with a model-driven app, but the main requirement was to make sure that the percentages of ownership on the Project is always 100%.
In my last blog post of this year, I decided to write about creating Nested Galleries in Canvas Apps. There are probably various blogs and videos of this already, but I thought of simplifying this, as it seems to be a common request.
