Embedded canvas app get the selected lookup field value

Please see the screenshots, I used the following examples from previous messages and Microsoft guides and any variant that I could think of:

LookUp(Accounts, Account = GUID(First(ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Data).ItemId)).'Primary Contact'.'Full Name'
LookUp(Accounts, Account = ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item.Account).'Primary Contact'.'Full Name'

I have an embedded a canvas app for Work Order entity and every Work Order has a Vessel associated with it. I am aware that I can retrieve any field from the work order, except the lookup fields and vessel is a look up field in the Work Order record. Please see embedded 3 screenshot, where I am trying to retrieve the vessel identifier. I have entered the formulas given as examples, but they give me errors - I thought it may be because its a list of items (which by the way show if I click on the dropdown) , so I added a label and entered the following:

LookUp('Work Orders','WO Number'=[@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.'WO Number').'Service Account'.'Account Name'

As you can see in attachment, I have no errors but no value is returned. No matter what field from the vessel entity I am trying to retrieve , the results are the same. I attached another example with no lookup: [@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.Vessel.'Hull Number'

I know answers have been provided in previous posts and even guidance from Microsoft, but it does not work for me....

What should I do?

Re: Embedded canvas app get the selected lookup field value

How can I control a gallery of products with selecting a field in the model drive app using a embedded powerapps? My user want a gallery of products they can pick from but I want the model driven app to control the gallery.

Re: Embedded canvas app get the selected lookup field value

Ok try this.
1. Add another screen in your app (don't worry about its UI, we wont expose tha screen to the end user).
2. Add a gallery (Gallery1) of work orders with the items property set to Work Orders. Make sure you see a list of work orders
4. Now set the items property of this gallery to something like this: Filter('Work Orders','WO Number'=[@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.'WO Number')
5. Now in your main screen wherever you want to reference your work order, use something like this: First(Gallery1.AllItems) so for work order number it would be First(Gallery1.AllItems).'WO Number'

Let me know how this goes.

Yes, I am aware of that also. I tested with labels and fields other than look ups and it worked, I also checked in D365 the corresponding work order number to have a vessel associated with it. Awaiting your input, thank you.

Re: Embedded canvas app get the selected lookup field value

I should be able to help you out with any embedded canvas app issues.

One simple question before we get started though: have you tested this app from within a model-driven app form or are you just expecting to see values within the editor? Embedded canvas apps need not necessarily show values within the editor (most of the time they display values for the 1st record of the entity that the embedded canvas app is tied to).

So let's get this out of the way first. If it still doesn't work, I have another way that I think should make it work but let's hear back from you first.
