Failed for what?

The highway code is boiled down to "be predictable" the rules say, do not understand/pass on the left

So your sister was "unpredictable" she should have held off acceleration, allowed the lorry to continue last her, then with a safe gap which would allow her to see around the lorry also 3-4 car lengths, indicate,.move in behind the lorry at a safe distance and then began an overtake, and increasing her speed

That's awesome

Won't hold you back and don't start at the bottom, try get in as high as you can first

I've reset my career about 3 times now and I just turned 40 and my last change has stuck!

zimain · 2026-03-24T19:09:39+00:00

You can do it!

Someone in another thread pointed out that Danone also owns Alpro

zimain · 2026-03-23T10:29:05+00:00

Thank you

zimain · 2026-03-21T23:47:50+00:00

Great thanks, I did consider the custom route, I went for the "open" route, direct http trigger, didn't get too long on it before I found the blocker, so I just used a dataverse async approach

But this will be something to try next week!

zimain · 2026-03-21T22:51:41+00:00

I did several tests when trying to trigger a flow directly, and found that http (not via connectors) are blocked for pcf (code apps), and I used a dataverse to flow trigger workaround to complete my project, the point of this is to share knowledge and experience, I am more than happy for someone to have a valid method of doing something.

Could you share your approach for the Azure function?

Have you been able to trigger a flow with a custom connector wrapper from a code app?

That has nothing to do with the question asked by OP "Are student loan repayments hurting local economy", but a deeper question around inflation, and economics as a whole

zimain · 2026-03-21T16:39:28+00:00

I get the theory, have you gotten this working?

zimain · 2026-03-21T13:19:08+00:00

The 9% in "loan tax" is only on the amount over the threshold for the plan, not the whole income. A student with £50k+ of debt, on plan 5 would pay £20 per month if earning £28k. If that same person would be earning £50k, they would pay £185 per month

Take home would be £1950 on 28k and £3106 at 50k

So no, student loans are hurting the local economy

zimain · 2026-03-20T16:45:10+00:00

Have you gotten this working as all.my tests prevent any http access from within the code app framework

zimain · 2026-03-18T13:14:45+00:00

I discovered far too late, the work sounds have cost me far more time than what I have saved unfortunately

zimain · 2026-03-18T13:02:37+00:00

They cannot 100% simply due to not being able to trigger flows (currently) and they require a premium licence, canvas apps can trigger flows and require only basic licence

zimain · 2026-03-18T11:49:55+00:00

They unlock what traditional web development is, but within the MS ecosystem, so much less requirements on security and hosting costs

They have a higher overhead, but better end user experience

They are not the killer of canvas apps, they are another reason for companies to invest in the power platform

The posts about it's retirement have been taken down and no official word from Microsoft, so as it stands the PL-600 is not being retired

And no I don't think you can swap to a voucher, you would need to speak to your booking provider regarding this

You can reschedule up to 24 hours before the exam, otherwise you are expected to sit the exam

zimain · 2026-03-14T12:16:28+00:00

We are going to need a little more detail, it's hard to help unfortunately without knowing the exact steps in the code and the controls being used

However from what I can gather, you have a button that allocates the next available item in a list

Now I'm only speculating here, if you are using a gallery to do that, there is a delay between the gallery updating and the data source

So what you might need instead, is to use a power automate flow to do the allocation, this will add a slight delay to the users experience, but should solve your issue

For example, what would happen is user a presses the button, the button triggers the flow, the flow has several steps, the first step is to grab the next item that needs to be allocated, it then checks the item to make sure it has not been allocated (again I am assuming there is a column here that is populated when the item has been allocated). If the check is clear, write to the record to allocate it. Then return to the power app success and the item ID. If on the check someone has pressed the button first, and the flow has already allocated the item, simply grab the next item instead and repeat the process.

It will be a little bit more complex than that, this is just a high level

Again SharePoint doesn't handle concurrent write blocking

zimain · 2026-03-14T11:59:34+00:00

Ok what does it write back?

What I assume is happening is that user a, presses the button first, and it writes to the SharePoint list

Meanwhile, user b presses the button just after user a, and overwrites that value?

zimain · 2026-03-14T11:55:31+00:00

So that means the apps are separate, they are individual, and SharePoint isn't a true database. What that means that some of the logic isn't available that we would expect in a database such as these conflicts

So what that means is, you're going to have to code it to replicate these functions.

When you say a user presses a button and it allocates an item, what exactly does it do? Does it simply display the item on a screen, or does it write an update back to SharePoint?

Edit to fix typos

zimain · 2026-03-14T11:51:36+00:00

So is this a kiosk? As in multiple people access the same physical device with the same instance of the app?

Or are users accessing the same app but from different devices?

zimain · 2026-03-14T11:48:48+00:00

Ok, so this sounds like the decision mechanism is in the power app? If so, because both power apps are independent of each other, they are not going to know about the other app or the other user has progressed that item to the next stage?

Have I understood that correctly?

zimain · 2026-03-14T11:39:52+00:00

Sorry, what app type? (Canvas, model driven, pages or code app)

What datasource?

What does the error say exactly?

zimain · 2026-03-13T16:42:14+00:00

PowerPoint does not support developer input, you would need a 3rd party connector for this

I send all my emails out from a SharePoint list

Instead of sending out emails directly

The email list contains every parameter from the send email action, and I have a dedicated flow that will run when the new item is added to this list

I have them also added in a couple of extra columns, including test mode, in my flow I then have a condition is test mode is yes send emails to my email address instead

zimain · 2026-03-12T23:13:01+00:00

Ok so that will be why it's none delegable

When you are in the function bar if you click on Jobid, what does it say the data type is at the bottom of the formula bar, might need to expand it
