Cannot access app scope from component

Posted on by Test178

Hi there,

I know that this question occurred several times but I am not able to solve my problem.

I have activated the retired functionality as it wasn't retired. No an error occurred after MS changed it.

In the component I want to access some sources. It looks like this basically:

Switch(contract,1,LookUp('License Calculation',Id=1,'Price Year 1'),200)

contract is a number and is passed as a parameter.

But although I activated the app scope the "name 'License Calculation' isn't recognized".

I created a new component and I created a whole new app but the same error.

Can anybody help me? Am I doing anything wrong?

As I understand, there are two ways:
The old and nearly retired way "Collection access in component scope"
The new way deactivate "Collection access in component scope" and enable "Access app scope"
Both ways doesn't work on a new Power App (SharePoint integrated if necessary to know).

Seems you cannot use Components with SharePoint Forms

This cannot be right. The component is completely working if I do not use data from a connection just doing a math calculation. I guess this is meant a different way.
If I am doing just a math calculation, everything works fine.

Sorry mate, I don't think I can help any further. My personal opinion is that components (even though they are GA) are still a bit clunky and the same goes for SharePoint Integrated Forms.

I use components sparingly in standalone canvas apps and still use and maintain a few SharePoint Forms but I'd be hesitant to combine both. Just feels like to much trouble to bother with, but if you are determined it maybe possible to get it working - not sure really.

There is definitely something going on that is negatively impacting accessing the app scope from components. None of my applications are working as expected because that option isn't available anymore.

To enable "Access app scope" option follow below steps
1. Open App settings
2. Search for scope word under Retired tab
3. Turn off the setting "Collection access in component scope".
4. Save app , close app and reopen the app. you will get Access app scope now in component.
Please check below screenshot for more clarity
