Hi,

I've embedded a canvas app form into a model driven app form. When I select a record in the model driven form to edit it, I would like the info to be shown in the canvas app form (see screenshot below). How can I do this?

Hi @karimabdelrazek ,

Do you add a Edit form within your embedded canvas app to edit the selected record from your MDA?

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think the ModelDrivenFormIntegration Object could achieve your needs. Please make sure the DataSource property of the Edit form in your embedded canvas app has bind to same CDS Entity as your Model Driven app. And the Item property of the Edit form has been set to following formula:

ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item

I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned, the screenshot as below:

Please make sure you have embedded your canvas app into your Model-Driven app form properly based on the following blog:

If the issue still exists, please consider re-create a new embedded canvas app in your Model-Driven app based on above blog, then check if the issue is fixed.

Best regards,
