    Hi Amit,

     

    In this first update, you have to use the browser to create/update columns of an entity. We plan to add options to import schema changes in the future.

     

    Thanks for your feedback!

    Thanks Karthik. This will be really helpful to migrate old clunky databases/sp lists with large schema as we do maintain excel files for schemas and I can just migrate these when this feature gets enabled.

    Karthik this is fantastic, very much excited about the possibilities. For ISVs like us, we would appreciate a programmatic way of creating Entities and more importantly modifying them after they are in Production (upgrades/fixes,etc.) It'd be great to have PowerShell or an API similar to the SharePoint List creation/modification APIs for remote provisioning of Entities, Relationships, default data, etc...
