Hi all,

I've embedded a canvas app in a model driven app.

I'm facing a problem

When i use [@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item it works only with values stored in the entity where the canvas is embedded.

I have a canvas embedded on custom entity named "Intervention"

From the canvas if i do [@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.Name it works perfectly but if i want to get values of a lookups it's not working like [@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.User.FullName show nothing !

I've tried another way like Lookup(Users;User = [@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.User.User).Fullname

Why it's not working ? 😓

Many thanks for help

Ah ok I think the problem is that you need to add those data sources to the canvas app as well in order to reference them. So for the User lookup and query, add the ‘Users’ Dataverse table to your canvas app and it should work.

Ok if it’s already part of your data sources then take a look at this article, which I think is exactly your issue:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/model-driven-apps/embedded-canvas-app-guidelines#the-modeldrivenformintegration-control-doesnt-provide-a-value-for-columns-of-a-related-table

It’s a known limitation and you’ll need something like this (from the docs):
LookUp(Accounts, Account = GUID(First(ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Data).ItemId)).'Primary Contact'.'Full Name'
