57Hi,
I am a bit confused here.
I am trying to add a custom canvas component for comfortable address input, that I want to use at multiple places across my solution.
For the addresses, I added a custom table (there are reasons why I do not want to use the native address managements that are probably not relevant, here).
I am referring to this type of component: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/create-component
There are some indications that this will not work (or only with a huge effort in making workarounds) and I would be happy if someone could confirm:
- I added the "Addresses" table as a data source. However, the Edit Form and View Form components are greyed out when editing the component (they are available in the "screens" section of the tree view, though)
- I wanted to pass the address record to the component. It seems I would have to manually create a all the properties. Things like First(Addresses) or Defaults(Addresses) are not recognized in the components section
- Also things like "Search", "Filter" etc do not seem to work with the "Addresses" argument (I also tried other Dataverse tables, just to make sure).
It makes me think that these components are only "visual" things and cannot manipulate data. However, I could use a custom connector in the component. Is there maybe something I need to add to be able to use my Dataverse data?
Any hint is appreciated.
