Adding a column to a dataverse table from a Canvas app

Posted on by guekjcow

Hello all,

I have created a table in a canvas app that is linked to a dataverse table. And I need a function that allows me to add new columns to this table directly in Powerapps. So that every time I add a new column in my Powerapps table, a new column is also created in the linked Dataverse table.

Is this possible and if so, how can I do this?

@guekjcow It is not possible to change the Schema of a Dataverse table from a Canvas App. There are other ways you can do it as described in the doc, Work with Dataverse tables using code.

Hi @guekjcow,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to add new columns to your data source in Power Apps?

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Actually, if you want to add new columns to your Dataverse table within Power Apps, I am afraid that there is no way to achieve this directly in Power Apps.

The functions that this Power Apps has don't modify the original table. Instead, they take that table as an argument and return a new table with a transform applied. See working with tables for more details.

You have no choice but to add new fields to your data source side.

Hope it could help you at some degree.
