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.
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%.
A few days, on January 27th, Microsoft release the documentation for the 2021 release wave 1 plan. As there are hundreds of doc pages containing the features that will be released between April and September 2021. You will be able to get access to some of these features starting the beginning of February (in preview mode), and then it will be rolled out to the different regions in April.
To start the year, I would like to review Adaptive Cards, where last summer I had a Power Storm session with a couple of my fellow MVPs, Alex Shlega and Linn Zaw Win to get a little more familiarized with using Adaptive Cards, adding them to Cloud flows and Microsoft Teams, and sending adaptive cards via Outlook. About 5 months passed since then, and now I had the need to build something for a project that I am working on.
As part of the controls that are available for Model Driven apps in unified interface we have the Option Set PCF custom control. Recently I encountered a weird behavior in these controls. I am not sure whether Microsoft would consider this as a bug or a feature, but I wanted to discuss this here, so that possibly it can help other who are encountering the same issue.
We have all seen different articles and posts that detail the steps of how to embed a Canvas App within a Model-Driven form by adding the Canvas App control to a field on the form, but sometimes that might not be enough for the requirements that we have in place.
