Collection not appearing in Data Source

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,168

Hi,

I have a new Canvas App that I have just used the template to create (Dataverse Back end)

I am following Reza's video on creating Navigation with Modern Tab List control that can be found here

I have created the Collection and Ran On Start manually which creates the Collection and I can view rows via the Variables Menu.

Problem is when I click on the Items parameter of the TabList control my collection does not appear as a Data Source, either in the list or by searching or by just typing it in the Items field.

 

Any ideas where I might be going wrong?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Todd

    Hi @Tango,

     

    Have you tried just typing the collection name entirely in the Items property of the TabList?

    Sometimes the intellisense does not work and this does the trick.

     

    Have a great day!

     

    Kind regards,

    Gonçalo Melo

    Thanks @goncalomelo8, I actually typed the whole table in the items field, which then let me add the Field name, then went back and replaced full table with collection name and it changed colour and worked!!

    I have the same issue, and I can type directly in the Items property, but I'm working on Power Drag and Drop and it appears the component requires it is selected through the drop down for selecting a data source for items.
     
    Any thoughts?
