Editing Canvas App in other language breaks column names

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 601

Hi,

I notice that when I switch the interface language on the Power Apps Canvas Maker portal, the column names stop working since they were originaly in another language.

For example, the app was originaly built in the English interface, and a column CurrentOpportunity.Topic was referenced. When editing the app in Dutch for example, the field was not found (red squigqly line) and had to be changed to the Dutch translation CurrentOpportunity.Onderwerp.

To avoid this, I could use the logical name CurrentOpportunity.'name', but that does not show up with intellisense...

Is there any other way to be able to have a "language-independent" development experience?

best regards,

Koen

    Good question.  I don't think so there is any other way to be able to have a language independent development experience.
