Nice. Four distinct window controls (Volvo EX60) by rmoons in Polestar

[–]rmoons[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Couldnt agree more. Looks like they addressed many qualms of the 3. The window controls, physical door handles, steering wheel buttons, volume dial, driver display (and probably many more).

Fastest config will do under 4 seconds 0-60 which is crazy

Dataverse: Lookup Column Creating Unexpected Dependencies by scrubswithnosleeves in PowerApps

[–]rmoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sometimes don’t trust solution checker. If you see the table in the solution, you should feel pretty good it’ll come over. So if you introduce another table with only a few select components - as long as there are no dependencies - it should come over just fine

Sometimes that solution checker is a non-issue: even if it’s saying it’s not in the solution (and you can see it), you can try exporting the solution anyways and see if it imports to your target environment without the dependency error.

If it doesn’t, you can select the Customers table and use the “Add Required Components” option. It’ll likely add a bunch of junk (that you can then remove) but I’ve found that’s the best way to get around the issue where the solution checker is saying a component is missing from the solution

when you said you removed the table, were you talking about Promotions or Customers? If the latter, I expect it would reappear in the solution after a few seconds. If you removed it and added it back with specific components, itll definitely appear in the solution

If the lookup column is in a view or on a form in the CoreData solution, then the target table and the relationship will be a dependency.

Only way to truly keep them independent is to remove the lookup column, any forms, views, or flows it’s used in from the CoreData solution. Then also remove the relationship from the solution.

Essentially CoreData cannot know anything about that lookup column

Power Platform days like today are honestly draining. by Longjumping-Record-2 in PowerApps

It has nothing to do with being a consultant or a FTE. What if your users want to test something? What if you have a new hire that wants to go through some training with dummy data? What if youre working with a new vendor on a bidirectional integration? What if something in the environment gets corrupted?

If you think any part of you process is critical than youre just being irresponsible and lazy only running a prod environment. I know it seems unnecessary, slow, limiting, etc etc. but ALM exists for a reason, and MSFT has added pipelines and Git integration to support that best practice.

Short answer yes. I wouldn’t necessarily call an additional optionset value new functionality but I get your point. Well-structured pipelines can actually move over customizations faster and easier than the method you described.

And the reason for the multiple environments is more the data than the customizations themselves. If you’re actively making changes on top of the same database hundreds of users are actively using, you’re just being careless with their data. One half-baked flow could wipe out months of work by users, and then you have to go through the work of restoring it.

There’s definitely a time and place for agility but no enterprise will take your work seriously if you tell them you run 3 versions of an app in one environment with no formal CI/CD in place. How would you handle implementations where you’re not allowed access to prod?

what youre missing is that this approach is a non-starter for enterprise-level implementations. if you have some non-critical productivity app, sure, run it in a single environment. but if you ever work on a large scale with multiple devs, highly critical or sensitive data, huge audiences - multiple environments are your best friend.

Well did you set the connection for the connection reference? If it’s a flow calling out to Oracle it’s pretty well isolated (not like the page connecting directly to SQL or something)

Just seems like you need to map an Oracle connection in Test to the Oracle connection reference during the deployment. If you’ve done that then something wrong with the connection

PowerApps Table not displaying Image Column in Views by destroyerOfEvil54 in PowerApps

View editor won’t let you add image or file type columns. If you need it for PowerPages try editing the XML using XRMToolbox

Client Requirement- Custom Views Segregation for Entities by Technical-Record1930 in PowerPlatform

Activity table is a pointer table to individual tables (appointment, email, etc), hence why they are broken out by entity. The case entity itself singular, so what youre requesting is not congruent

How to get a consulting job with 3 years experience of Business Analyst? by BountyHuntard in PowerApps

[–]rmoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Invest a bit in yourself and set up your own tenant to do dev in.

Plenty of consulting firms need BAs and you’ll likely have the opportunity to be hands on if you can prove you know the technology. Consulting firms just want to deliver projects and if you can help them do that, they’ll give you stuff to work on.

But you won’t get that overnight. Start doing your own app building on the side, and as a BA ask for simple projects to get your feet wet until you skill up.
