How I can see read/write data in a CDM entity inside a SharePoint List?
Hi, one way to do this is to copy the data in your CDS Entity to a SharePoint list by using Flow.
Basically set up flows to create the same item in a SharePoint list when the item is created in CDS, and a separate flow for when the item is edited.
The only current issue is that there is no trigger for flows when a CDS item is deleted.
Please add your kudos to the following post if this could be useful to you:

Thanks @Meneghino, from my point of view, there should be seamless READ/WRITE connection between CDM Entity and SharePoint List far from Flow. Flow itself will always have limitation (number of runs, the delete trigger you are referring to), besides, READ/WRITE means i can Edit anywhere in CDM OR SPO List hence see my edit in the other places. I think all needed is that Microsoft adds to SPO the possibility to use CDM Entity as external data source.
Clear, agreed.
Hi @Yahya,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Currently there is no way available to Read/Edit CDM entity from SharePoint List directly.
Under SharePoint list new View would have Flow and PowerApps as available option, but there is no information (or saying connections) regarding common data service.
For Common Data service entity and SharePoint list integration, please consider submit an idea under the PowerApps idea forum:
