Hi all,

I have developed some modular re-usable components to filter Dataverse tables and display them as a responsive grid.

My approach was:

The Filter component has an output property which is the filtered table
The Grid component has an input property which is the output property of the Filter component

In the Filter ouutput property, I enforced the use of logical names using ShowColumns. For 2 reasons:

Inside a component, logical names work perfectly whereas display names are not accepted
Logical names in code are cleaner anyway: no quotes, no spaces

All was working fine, until in the recent update Power Apps Studio decided to automatically replace logical names by display names in all my ShowColumns functions. Which means my Grid component shows no data. Putting the logical names back solves the problem, but this is not very satisfying.

Does anyone have an idea how to either:

Stop Power Apps Studio from converting logical names to display names in ShowColumns
Get input controls inside components to accept display names for Dataverse tables

Many thanks!!

Martin.
