Can I use a CDS Entity Associated View in a Canvas App Gallery?

Hello Power Apps Community,

I hope you can help please. 

I've created two CDS entities: "My Sites" which is the "parent", and "Level" which is the "child". So a "One-to-Many" relationship. A single "My Site" record can have multiple "Level" records.

I have a simple canvas app. 

On screen 1 is a gallery of all the records for "My Sites". I have a "Next Arrow" icon against every "My Site" record. 

When I select a specific "My Site" record, it navigates to screen 2.

On screen 2 is a gallery of all the "Level" records for the selected "My Site" record.

I'm using a filter and a variable to display the above on screen 2. But... this seemed like too much hard work. I could easily mess up a comma or full stop and all of a sudden I've got an error on my hands. 

 

So, my question is, can't I just somehow use the "Level Associated View" on screen 2 and show all the "Level" records for the selected "My Site" record? This seems so much easier.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much,

Garry

    @GarryPope  No you can’t use the associated view. This is one of the special views that only work in context of another record in model driven apps. You can accomplish the same thing by filtering your gallery

    Hello @jlindstrom,

    Thanks for the reply, that's what I'm already doing, so I'll have to stick with that. Shame we can't use it, it's so handy!

    Thanks a lot and all the best.
