Async Plugins vs. Power Automate Flows

Dynamics 365 App Designer - Web Interface is going to be / already deprecated?

In version 1710 (9.0.2.2279) of Dynamics 365 Online we get this dialog to create a new app…
As you can see it contains the Client options Web and Unified Interface.

After an automatic minor update to the newer version 1710 (9.1.0.33) online you only have this dialog available.

This version creates a unified interface app by default and you cannot create apps with a web interface anymore.

Microsoft is transitioning from the classic web interface to the relatively new unified interface.

Is this the version where we cannot create new web interface based apps anymore?

Either this is a bug or we face the next wave mentioned in Steve Mordue’s article:

  1. It’s not a bug. 9.1 has the unified interface for all new apps but still supports the web refresh interface for existing apps.

    10.0 (April 2019) will probably have the unified interface across all platforms.

  2. It obviously is not and is not only for new trials as its documented here:

    thanks to Gred DeCarlo who brought that up on my LinkedIn post...

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.

Async Plugins vs. Power Automate Flows

Choosing Your Automation Tool Choosing the right tool for automation and business logic in the Power Platform and Dynamics 365 is crucial for building scalable, maintainable, and performant solutions.
