Hi,
Is it possible to use the Power App barcode reader on a Model Driven App?
Consider a column that is a lookup but instead of typing or tapping on magnifying glass, I just want to scan a barcode and the value is then populated.
Thank in advance
Todd
Hello @Tango , Usually we use MDA for desktop/Laptop even though you add Barcode scanner it won’t open.
