Cannot find the administrative settings with Unified Interface apps in my Dynamics 365 trial

When go to https://trials.dynamics.com and create a new trial environment the first step I always do is to go to the Settings => Security => User to promote my user as admin.
With the new unified interface you might find out quickly that this approach will not help you in the classic way where you tried to open the Dynamics 365 – custom - App in order to navigate to the Security settings.


If you try to do so, you will always end up on the default or Sales app.
Checking out the personal settings you will find a new option "Advanced Settings" which will navigate you to the classic Settings page:

Voilà, now we got the Settings page back:


Now you can select your user and promote him to admin:

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.

XrmToolBox: AutoNumberUpdater - new StateCode filter

Mayank Pujara's AutoNumberUpdater plugin for the XrmToolBox is a great tool to add missing auto number values to an auto number field for an entity/table. In his blog you can find more details about the original version of his plugin: https://mayankp.wordpress.com/2021/12/09/xrmtoolbox-autonumberupdater-new-tool/ For my purposes I had to update accounts with missing account numbers, but in my use case this should only be done for those accounts that have the status value "Active".   As this plugin did not have this feature I quickly implemented it and Mayank merged my changes to his plugin source code. You can download the new version 1.2024.0.1 in the Tool Library of the XrmToolBox.
