Model Driven App View - Columns Intermittently Squashed to Half Screen Width (screenshot)

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by MicrosoftAdmin

Hi there,

My Model Driven Apps default view occasionally only occupies half the screen real estate. Happens about 1/4 of the time. Refresh of page usually resolves.. Screenshot demonstrates best.

App has been working for 8 months without issue until now. No changes were made to cause this, it started to occur over the last few weeks and appears to be happening more and more frequently..

I am using icons in the view as per the following guide; Add custom icons to a list view in Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) | Microsoft Docs

Edge and Chrome both affected:

Edge Version 104.0.1293.70 (Official build) (64-bit)
Chrome Version 105.0.5195.54 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Windows 10 Enterprise Version 21H2 / OS build 19044.1826

Can anyone suggest any troubleshooting i might try?

Quick update, I attempted to change column widths to see if that might have an impact. On the classic view editor I get error "an error has occurred. please return to the home page and try again"

I then clicked the option to edit in the "Try New Experience" which allows me to modify the column width fine.

Should I concerned about the error msg in the classic view in question?

Next troubleshooting will be to recreate a new view from scratch to replicate the old and see if/when i encounter issues...

Hi @MicrosoftAdmin ,

It's ok if it's working as expected using the new designer.

The new view created from scratch is also susceptible to the same characteristic 🤨

Still and issue, still occurring with some regularity. Any ideas welcome.

Thanks,

A new characteristic has developed.
When the list is showing full width and you click on any inactive white space on the list, the column widths reduce. This happens 100% of the time. Resizing the window brings it back to full width 100% of the time.
Very strange. Any thoughts welcome.

Quick update for anyone who experiences these symptoms, this is a known quirk with the 'new experience' in the view of model driven apps.

There are two fixes on offer to help improve the situation until MS finds a permanent global fix:

1. add one of the following strings to the end of your power apps URL:
&flags=FCB.PcfGridReduceRefresh=false
-OR-
&flags=FCB.PcfGridReduceRefresh=true

2. Turn off the new experience:
1. Open https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/
2. Select environment
3. Go to 'Settings'
4. Click on 'Product' > 'Features'
5. Disable 'Enable the modern read-only grid experience'
6. Save.
