PCF SDK Context Api Not Returning Lookup Values Using Data-set Properties in Canvas App

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a Canvas App and encountering an issue with the PCF (PowerApps Component Framework) SDK. Specifically, I'm having trouble getting the SDK to return lookup values when using data-set properties.

Here are the details:

  • Context: I'm developing a Canvas App where I'm trying to leverage PCF to interact with lookup fields in a dataset.

  • Issue: The SDK does not seem to return the expected lookup values. Instead, it returns null value.

  • Attempts to Resolve: I've double-checked the dataset schema and ensured that the lookup fields are correctly defined. I've also reviewed the official documentation but haven't found a solution to this specific issue.

 

const rows: Array<JSONObject> = new Array<JSONObject>();

        const records = this._context.parameters.items.records

        const sortedRecordsIds = this._context.parameters.items.sortedRecordIds;

        sortedRecordsIds.forEach(ids => {

            let gridDataSource: Record<string, any> = {} as Record<string, object>;

            gridDataSource.primaryId = ids;

            this._context.parameters.items.columns.forEach(c => {

                const rec = records[ids].getValue(c.name);

                const rec1 = records[ids].getFormattedValue(c.name);

                gridDataSource = { ...gridDataSource, [c.name]: rec, [`${c.name}-f`]: rec1 };

            })

            rows.push({ ...gridDataSource });

        });

        console.log("rows", rows);

 

I am using this code to get values from the Data-set property.

 

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Are any workarounds or configurations needed to get lookup values through the PCF SDK in a Canvas App?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
