Calling OTB template from custom page

Posted on by 820

Hi

I have a custom page and OTB template. 

Calling OTB template from the model driven app - all is clear all is ok but is it possible to call OTB template(so it also fills the data) from the custom page inside same model driven app?

    Hi @melamri @Mira_Ghaly 

    What i like with OTB is that is get's downloaded automatically whenever user requests it - in this scenario i see i am not able to achieve same behaviour(user is able to see when the file is downloaded in taskbar and hots open the file)

    Ofcourse i can save the file in sharepoint.

    Another issue i see it call's a CDS trigger where in my case when using power apps per app license trigger will ask to buy powerautomate per app license where i don't need it

    @jja 

    I am a little bit unclear of what you want, so you have made an OTB word template and uploaded it back is that correct?

    By custom page do you mean custom canvas page?
