Lookup field Issue in PowerApps (Common Data Services)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by BHerz 50

I have two Custom CDS Entities

One entity is set as a relationship to the other entity.

From the "Fields" tab the Lookup field is displayed. But, the "Required" property can not be checked.

 

How do I make a lookup from one entity related to another "Required" at the entity level?

I know a formula can be used on the PowerApp but, this would not be the desired method.

    The required field for the Lookup field under Common Data Service can't be selected.

    Please consider submit this as an idea under PowerApps idea forum:

    I will also collect this as a feedback from my side.
