All I want to share about Development/Customization for Dataverse
During my daily routine, I have to repeat data entry steps to troubleshoot bugs and/or test written code – Create Contact, Create a Child Case, Save, check the result. I believe all developers are going in rounds with this repetitive and annoying routine. Back in time, I created ribbon buttons that were visible only to …
In my previous post, I described a way around on how to embed PCFs into MDA. During the investigation of what is possible, I found out that Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo ignores “navigationOptions” so it was not possible to show PCF in modal dialogs. I don’t like limitations, so I was looking for a way around it, and …
At the moment, we, as developers, can develop PCF controls of 2 types – “field” bound and “dataset” bound. But what if I need to embed some kind of special visualization directly into the SiteMap of a Model Driven Application? Until today, I knew a few ways to address this requirement: give up on using …
I have been building PCF control since the early days of this Power Platform Component. Even now, after 5 years of using it, I keep finding interesting challenges. In this case, it was linking and filtration of the data based on the further-then-1 hop way from the “main” dataset entity. Challenge Let’s consider the following …
During my recent project, I resolved a few similar tasks – the requirement was to show records that are not directly related to the current one. Depending on the scenario you can use one of 2 ways I provided in this post.
According to the best practices, it’s recommended to use TypeScript to build PCF Controls but in some exceptional situations the only way is to load files with JavaScript “on-demand”. Here are 3 examples I’m aware of and I highly encourage you to leave a comment under this post if you have another use-case scenario: When …
According to the documentation Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo method doesn’t have any option to open bulk editing but investigating the code I found the way to do that.
I was working on the plugin where logic had to work differently depending on the type of the instance, i.e. if code is executed in Sandbox environment – do A, if code is executed in Production – do B. I never developed anything similar before and search engines did not bring anything valuable. After research …
Just imagine that you need to define the context in which “Quick Create Form” was opened and depending on the context – to do some additional operations. In this short post I provide supported code you can use to define it.
Several days back I saw an email from Steve Mordue MVP asking if it is possible to filter ribbon elements based on application like it’s implemented for entities, views and forms. Answer was that at the moment there is no easy way to do it. In this post I will help Steve to resolve his …
We don't know how long the war will last. But what we do know is that we can't stand aside and watch.
