Custom command not working and not added to component library

Posted on by NielsSL

I have created a new custom command for the Appointment table in Dataverse, which should run JavaScript that opens a custom page in a modal. I have used the approach previously, where it has worked fine.

However, when I click the button, nothing happens.

When I open the component library from the designer I can't see the command I created - only the ones I created a long time ago.

Moreover, when I run the Command Checker in the model-driven app, it also shows the error Component was not found in the library.

Has anyone else experienced this - and perhaps found a solution or workaround?

I'm having the same issue. Unfortunately, I haven't as yet found a solution.

I also still haven't found a solution - and I haven't bothered to reach out to Microsoft Support yet.

I did end up raising a ticket and wasn't really getting anywhere with support, although their help did at least help me identify that the function was being called and there wasn't an issue with the code itself. Rather it had to be something to do with the custom page.

Then came the breakthrough: with that information in mind, a search of this forum revealed an answer from @a33ik to the effect that the custom page needs to be added to the app itself and not just the solution (: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Dataverse/custom-page-does-not-open-in-model-driven-app/m-p/1647866/highlight/true#M21079

Now the custom page dialog correctly opens. Simple fix, once you know it.

Thanks for the follow-up, @Spinner.

After adding the custom page to the app, can you then see the custom command in the component library?

No, it doesn't. I presume that's because it's based on JavaScript rather than Power FX.
