Using Address entity in CDS with a custom entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 716

Hello Power Apps community,

I hope you can help please?

I've created a custom entity in the CDS called "Property". This could be a house, flat, office, shop, warehouse etc.

The Property entity needs to have an address. I saw in the CDS that there's already an entity called "Address", with schema name customeraddress. Great!

But, when I go onto the Address entity and select the "Relationships" tab then "Add relationship" and try and create a relationship with my Property custom entity, this is not possible. See screenshot below:

Two questions:

  1. Any idea how I enable the Address entity so that it can be used to relate to custom entities please? I think not.
  2. If the above is 'no', how do you handle addresses for custom entities please? I imagine you create a custom entity called "Address" or "Location" and then show the data with a Quick View Form?

Thanks very much,

Garry

    Hi @GarryPope 

    I checked and found that the Address entity is hard coded to only reference the Contact entity via the "Parent" field.  This doesn't preclude creating your own custom address entity and relating it to your Property entity.
