Connection reference is used for new connections but is limited

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi!

As noticed in this https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/powerapps/maker/common-data-service/create-connection-reference article connection refenrences are limited to be used 16 times.

WHY?

And why this features replaced (not the old) but all new connections.

How long will it take to GA?

Also there is a strange behaviour if I want to use a connection with others users credentials, transporting this to prod always creates a reference with a connection related to my user (the one who imports).

Another thing is that my collegue can't reuse the connection references created by me, do we miss a thing? 

Regards,

Marc

    Hi,

     

    Unfortunately at this time we cannot comment too much on limitations in this new feature. The issue is related to structure limitations but we are hoping to get that fixed by global release. At this time we are not sure how long it will be until GA, but the feature is in public preview so if you would like to test it out you can. As for the two odd things you have seen so far, I will submit let that team know what you saw and they will investigate it.

     

    Regards,

     

    Alex
