Subgrid Inline Editing Suddenly Stopped Working in Model-Driven App

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm facing an issue with editable subgrids in a Model-Driven App.

The editable grid was working correctly earlier. I had a custom grid plugin/PCF associated with the table, but after troubleshooting I completely unregistered/removed the plugin. Despite that, inline editing is still not working.

What I've verified so far:

  • Editable Grid control is enabled on the table.

  • Editable Grid is selected for Web.

  • Users have appropriate security roles (tested with System Administrator).

  • Table permissions are Organization level.

  • The subgrid is not read-only by design.

  • Published all customizations.

  • Cleared browser cache and tested in InPrivate mode.

  • Removed the custom grid plugin that was previously associated with the table.

  • Created a brand-new table and added it as a new subgrid on a form.

  • Even the newly created table's subgrid cannot be edited inline.

Current behavior:

  • The grid loads normally.

  • Records are visible.

  • No edit cursor appears when clicking cells.

  • No inline editing is available on any subgrid, including newly created tables.

Since the issue now affects even newly created tables, I'm wondering if there is an environment-level setting, grid customization, JavaScript, solution component, or platform configuration that could disable editable grids globally.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows additional areas I should investigate?

    Most likely cause: the Power Apps grid control (modern grid) is now
    the default for your environment, and its "Allow editing" property
    isn't enabled on the subgrid. The legacy "Editable Grid" table-level
    toggle is overridden when modern grid is active. Try in order:
     
    Step 1 — Confirm which grid control is bound.
       Open the form → click the subgrid → right panel → Components.
       Look at what's listed. If it says "Power Apps grid control" → go
       to Step 2. If "Read-only Grid" → go to Step 4.
     
    Step 2 — Enable editing on the modern grid.
       Components section → Power Apps grid control → click the pencil/
       gear → "Show advanced properties" → set:
            Allow editing = true
            Allow filtering = true
            Allow sorting = true
     
    Step 3 — Save → Publish → hard refresh.
       Ctrl+F5 the app. Test the subgrid. If it now edits inline, done.
     
    Step 4 — Swap Read-only Grid for editable.
       If Read-only Grid is bound → remove it → add Power Apps grid
       control → repeat Step 2.
     
    Step 5 — Check the environment "Modern controls" setting.
       Power Platform admin centre → your environment → Settings →
       Product → Features. Look for "Power Apps grid control as default"
       or "Modern controls". If it's on but you want classic behaviour,
       you'd need to toggle off — but better fix is Step 2.
     
    Step 6 — Check form OnLoad for JS overrides.
       Form designer → Form properties → Events → OnLoad. Look for any
       handler calling setControlState, setSubmitMode, or setting the
       grid context to read-only. Remove or condition out.
     
    Step 7 — Confirm at the APP level too.
       In the app designer (modelapp), select the table in the sitemap →
       right panel → check no "View only" override on the table entry.
     
    Step 8 — Sanity check: which form is loading?
       If the table has multiple forms, ensure the one with the editable
       subgrid is the form being used (Form Order may push a different
       form). Power Apps maker portal → table → Forms → check Form Order
       for the security roles in play.
     
    If none of the above resolves it, this likely needs a Microsoft
    support ticket — environment-level grid control overrides occasionally
    get stuck after a tenant-wide control migration and Microsoft has to
    flip the flag server-side.
    Hope one of these gets you back.

    Because the issue affects every editable subgrid in the environment, this strongly suggests either:
    Environment configuration issue
    or
    Power Apps Grid platform regression
    I would:
    • Create a brand-new app with a standard table like Account and an editable subgrid.
    • Check browser console errors.
    • Verify which grid control is being used.
    • Inspect solution layers for lingering customizations.
    • If the new app also cannot edit inline, open a Microsoft support ticket, as the issue is likely environment-wide rather than table-specific.
