Business Data Catalog (BCS) Bug? in SharePoint 2010 with Actions and German umlauts (non-URL encoded)

In my *.bdcm BDC-model file I have a section:

<Actions>
            <Action Position="1" IsOpenedInNewWindow="true" Url="http://demo:5555/Company/userdefined/edit.aspx?id={0}&amp;etc=10022#" ImageUrl="http://demo:5555/_imgs/ico_18_4002.gif" Name="Projekt in MSCRM bearbeiten">
              <ActionParameters>
                <ActionParameter Index="0" Name="ProjectID" />
              </ActionParameters>
            </Action>
            <Action Position="2" IsOpenedInNewWindow="true" Url="{0}" ImageUrl="http://demo:5555/_imgs/ico_18_4002.gif" Name="Projektportal öffnen">
              <ActionParameters>
                <ActionParameter Index="0" Name="PortalUrl" />
              </ActionParameters>
            </Action>
          </Actions>

The name of my actions is "Projektportal öffnen". Once I deployed my BCD-model, created the external content type and created a new external list based on that ECT, I clicked on my action in the actions menu and found the following error:

No Action with the specified ActionName exits in the specified Entity


Checking the SharePoint 2010 log I found the following:

06/10/2010 11:46:19.76 w3wp.exe (0x1500) 0x0DBC SharePoint Foundation Monitoring b4ly Medium Leaving Monitored Scope (Request (GET:http://sharepoint:80/Kunden/_layouts/ActionRedirect.aspx?ItemID=__bkc30013000300e200030003003300e20003003300e20013002300330043005300&EntityNamespace=MSCRMBdcModel.BdcModel&EntityName=Project&LOBSystemInstanceName=MSCRMBdcModel&ActionName=Projektportal%20%C3%B6ffnen)). Execution Time=4458.19817881882 65cb748f-a3cb-4f34-bfd6-776d0570f788

Now lets have a closer look at the ActionName parameter in the querystring:
ActionName=Projektportal%20%C3%B6ffnen  --> URL encoded, which is correct

Comparing it with the browser's errorous URL...
http://sharepoint/Kunden/_layouts/ActionRedirect.aspx?ItemID=__bk420013000300230053007300d200030003001300&EntityNamespace=MSCRMBdcModel.BdcModel&EntityName=Account&LOBSystemInstanceName=MSCRMBdcModel&ActionName=Kundenportal öffnen

ActionName=Kundenportal öffnen  --> URL is not encoded, hence we get an error

Overwriting ActionName with ActionName=Kundenportal %C3%B6ffnen does the trick, even though the space was not encoded.

This was experienced with the english version of SharePoint 2010 Server (Build:14.0.4763.1000)

So far I will replace the German umlaut ö with oe, but its not nice.

Is there any solution to this problem yet?

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.

How to add your personal PowerBI Dashboard as a system dashboard

New Approach: Attention: Microsoft added this feature out of the box, so that the manual approach below is not required anymore.

With some tweaks you can manage it to make it work… 1. After you have created your personal dashboard you need to extract the formxml of that dashboard with this URL query in a browser tab: https://org.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/userforms?$select=name,formxml&$filter=type eq 103 and name eq 'Ticket Status' Replace… type = 103 => PowerBi Dashboard name = 'Your PowerBI Dashboard Name' In the result copy the XML part out of the "formxm...
