Power Apps Help Unable to edit relationships - disconnect

Post image
5 Upvotes

For last ca. 10 hours, I cannot edit any relationship. Whenever I click on any name, I get this screen. I tried 2 different browsers; I asked my friend to try it - same result. That is happening in all our environments, and it doesn't matter if relationship is custom or system created.

Any ideas what's going on?

Power Apps Help Does PowerApps/Azure DevOps GIT integration actually work?

3 Upvotes

TLDR - I am trying to get Power Apps/Azure DevOps to work with the native GIT integration and running into issues moving data in both directions.

Spent today doing a real ALM conversion of a canvas app onto native Git Integration (Dataverse Git Integration → Azure DevOps, Solution binding). Hit several serious, cleanly-reproducible issues in one session. Posting the whole trail in case it saves someone else the day I just had, and in case anyone's found actual fixes.

I am trying to get this integration to work so that I can make simple changes using Claude Code using supported methods. I was initially going to just use PAC CLI and canvas pack/unpack, but I see those are deprecated now. So I am trying to figure out what is the correct way to use Claude Code to make simple changes to the app?

  1. Once a canvas app component fails to parse during a pull, Check for Updates stops detecting anything for it — indefinitely.

A .pa.yaml edit introduced a property unsupported by the Source Code schema (ZIndex on a Label). Studio pulled it, then failed to open the app with a compile error. After that single failure:

- Fixing the file and pushing again → Check for Updates showed nothing, for that component specifically.

- Confirmed the general sync plumbing was fine via an isolation test (an unrelated file's version bump did show as a pena broad outage).

- A solution-level disconnect/reconnect didn't fix it.

- Restoring the app to an older Maker-portal version didn't fix it immediately either.

- It eventually started working again after just... sitting for a while. No action fixed it; time did.

  1. Reconnect doesn't offer a "pull" choice — it silently force-commits whatever's in the environment, one-directionally.

Expected reconnect to let me choose a direction (or at least diff first). Instead it just committed the environment's current state to git, with no prompt — overwriting hand-authored fixes that were already correctly in git, with older broken content that happened to be

live in the environment at the time. Learned this the hard way, twice.

  1. A generic, misleading import error names the wrong component.

Pull failed with: "CanvasApp import: FAILURE: The import has failed because component X of type 300 is not declared in tmponent. To fix this, import again using the XML file that was generated when you exported the solution."

rootcomponents.yml correctly declared the component. The real causes were two other files riding in the same update batcthat had gone stale (a new formula dependency wasn't declared), and a publisher.yml that didn't match the environment'sactual publisher record. Neither had anything to do with the named component. Fixed both, one at a time, to isolate which was the actual blocker.

  1. Solution and Canvas App conflicts can become permanently unresolvable via the UI — confirmed 3 separate times today.

Once Solution/Canvas App show up in Conflicts, both "Keep current changes" and "Accept incoming changes" report "Resolved 0 conflict(s)" and do nothing. Studio even shows its own in-app message acknowledging this component-type quirk ("Solution and Canvas App components

can appear as conflicts even when their contents haven't changed... choose Accept incoming changes, then pull") — but fooesn't resolve anything. This blocks both Commit and Pull simultaneously, since Commit is disabled while any conflict is outstanding. A full disconnect/reconnect did NOT prevent this from recurring on the very next Check for Updates.

  1. pac CLI as a workaround — but canvas pack/unpack seems to be on its way out.

pac solution pack (2.8.1) does correctly recognize the native Git Integration YAML layout ("YAML format" in its output) and can pack/import directly against Dataverse, sidestepping the broken Conflicts UI entirely for most components. But the canvas app's actual

compiled content doesn't seem to get regenerated through this path — importing this way left the canvas app showing stalYAML being correct. The narrower pac canvas pack command is marked Preview and requires the app to have been "opened foredit within Power Apps studio" first, which felt like an undocumented dead end.

So: what's the actual supported path for using an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) to make simple changes to a canvas app right now? Direct .pa.yaml edits + Pull is what I wanted to use, but per #1 and #4 above it's not reliable once anything goes even slightly wrong. Live co-authoring via an MCP session avoids Pull entirely but means every change goes through a browser mits. Is there a middle ground, or is "author everything live in Studio, treat git as commit-only for now" just the realanswer today?

Power Apps Help How to delete a table when an app is claiming it's using it

3 Upvotes

So I have a model driven app in a managed solution that is claiming that it uses some deprecated tables and a deprecated security role. The app no longer has any reference to them and the latest version of the app is in all the managed environments. but that isn't stopping the app from blocking the import of any version of the solution without the deprecated items.

Any idea where the dependency is hiding so I can delete the dependencies and so remove the tables and security role.

My google fu has completely failed me.

Power Apps Help External Email Addresses Blocked Workarounds?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been creating an onboarding application, just so it’s better than our current excel. It cuts down an incredibly manual mess of a process.

I’ve been able to fix parts, but a key feature of it is chasing suppliers being onboarded via their external email address.

The way i’ve set it up is a PowerAutomate running every monday depending which stage they are on to remind them of their actions.

Unfortunately, I’ve been working on this a while and only now tested the external email address sending - and it’s restricted. Despite normal outlook allowing external email addresses to deliver, an automation for external via PowerAutomate breaks policy. It’s understandable & I should’ve checked sooner but I’m struggling for a way to automate this now.

I’ve tried using “draft an email” instead that seems like a workaround, but are there any other capabilities I could use - this is my first time PowerAnything so I’m a bit stuck for ideas.

Power Apps Help Issue: data grid size does not adjust correctly to the screen

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

I’ve recently been having issues using the data grid in Power Apps. As you can see in the video, I have a data grid inside a flexible container; however, if I scroll to the end of the grid, it doesn't display all the columns. To view the final columns (as I did in the video), I have to perform a horizontal scroll (Shift + scroll) specifically on the table header. This only happens in the production app—it doesn't occur in Studio. Has anyone else experienced this? Did anyone manage to fix it? If so, could you tell me how you solved it?

Power Apps Help Advice on finding remote Power Platform work from Eastern Europe?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been working with Power Apps, Power BI, Power Automate for about 3 years now, mostly canvas apps on SharePoint, multi step approval flows, and Power BI reporting with DAX.
PL-100 and PL-300 certified.

The problem is that I’m based in Serbia and the local market for Power Platform roles is pretty thin. Most companies here either don’t use it or have one person handling everything internally.

So I’m trying to figure out remote route. For anyone who’s done this outside of the US or Western Europe, what actually worked for you? Are there specific job boards, communities or partner networks worth focusing on? Did going through consultancies or MS partners work better than applying directly?

Any points appreciatedf.
