Update field on button click in dynamics 365

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hello,

 

This is the scenario we're drawing to create using power apps. 

 

A technician gets a list of work orders (A) he clicks on one of the work orders in order to see the details (B) under work details screen we have a button called 'arrived' and onclick we would like to update 'arrival time field' on the work order that had been selected (C)

 

Stages A&B was executed correctly now we are stuck on the C how can we update a specific field on a specific record on dynamics 365. On the work order screen we have a dorm which already has the correct work order that was selected on the previous screen.

 

We also have the button and we want on a click on the button to update TODATY date and time on the work order field back in dynamics 365.

 

We will appreciate for some help how to execute it do we need to use power automate or there is some formula we can apply

    Hi @alexyyoud 

     

    Have you looked at the patch function? This will allow you to update the date and time in the CDS.

    Hi @alexyyoud,

    Also might be worth looking at model-driven apps where these scenarios and operations are out-of-the-box. You can create a specific app and form(s) for the technicians. More details:

    Hope this helps!
