SP Error: A Web Part you attempted to change is either invalid or has been removed by another user.

Today I tried to get a custom Sharepoint web part to work. It was no fun because I had a pretty simple (once you figured it out) and tedious error.

I added my custom web part on a standard SharePoint web part page and tried to edit the web part properties. I tried to just click on OK, Apply or Cancel I always got the following annoying message:
A Web Part you attempted to change is either invalid or has been removed by another user.
After spending a couple of hours, even with an experienced collegue, I finally found an interesting article:
http://williamvanstrien.blogspot.com/2010/01/alluserswebpart-and-spwebapplicationapp.html
William pointed out that it is a really bad thing to set the ID of a webpart control:
"...When you add a control within an .aspx file, Visual Studio automatically add a default 'ID' property to the control. For the default WebPart however this is not needed, the property is actually set when creating a publishing page off this PageLayout. But the mere presence of it in the default part results in SharePoint detecting a concurrent update..."

Hence I removed the ID property of my web part and everything was good!


Removing the ID was the very simple trick to this issue.

Thank you Microsoft for providing us developers/users so meaningful error messages.

    In my case, we were out of disk space in SQL.

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete...

Power Automate: Avoid Apply to Each for List rows action (DataVerse)

If you do not want to use the Apply to Each loop after a Dataverse List rows action you can use the following in a Dynamic Content / Expression box to directly use a field's value in e.g. Compose action: first(outputs('List_rows')?['body/value'])?['apx_fullpath'] instead of apx_fullpath you can use whatever field name you need for the entity that's been queried before.
