Hi all,
I am building a PCF component which uses data that is gathered from a flow in the Canvas app's onStart function.
Somehow, the data does not show in the PCF the first time I navigate to the screen with the PCF component. I always wait for the onStart to finish. It does load the data when I navigate back to home or another screen and then back to the PCF screen again.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?
To test, I have set a text variable in onStart and displayed that in the PCF. This was displayed correctly on the first time opening the screen with the PCF Component. The collection that is filled with data from a flow still did not load, however, i did find a workaround. It's a dirty one though..
I created a copy of the screen with the PCF and added two timers to it. I have set a boolean PCFLoaded to false in onStart to use in the timers.
The first screen has this onTimerEnd function: If(PCFLoaded; true; Navigate(PCFScreen2; ScreenTransition.None)).
And on the second screen's timer: If(PCFLoaded; true; Set(PCFLoaded; true);; Navigate(PCFScreen1; ScreenTransition.None))
Both timers start automatically, repeat and have a duration of 100 (ms).
As I said, it is a dirty fix, but at least the data does load when you open the PCF screen the first time.
