A task requires a new table be created in Dataverse for an event whenever a user of the canvas app creates and names the event in-app. The table would then be used to reference attendees and items for the event, and linked to other tables that list all possible items and attendees. A list of all events would have a row added to refer to the newly created table.The plan was to use a Power Automate flow to create the new table in the Dataverse solution each time, but it seems there is no connector that allows such an action. It seems that it is possible to create a custom table directly through code, and via Web API. Any suggestions for how best to easily implement such an action so that it happens upon a user simply enter the event name and clicking create in a canvas app? Not including just creating a form and having it filled out for each event.
@GeoffreyHiteTT I'm curious why you feel to need a separate table per event. I would have expected each event instance would be represented as a row/record in a single event table? Are you expecting each event to have a different schema/set of properties? Or will the schema be the same for all events and it's just the values of each column for each record that would be different?
If you create tables programmatically at application runtime, they will be created as unmanaged which is not recommended for non-development environments.
I think your task is simply wrong (sorry, a bit harsh to say). Use multiple tables instead records is not raccomanded, your team should check your datamodel for understand how implement less table, but with better connection between them if you need relationship. This is way is not possible to create table in power automate. It is not something that should be done in runtime, but you should have the right tables before starting any operation on the records
