PCF Dataset.Columns API return empty

(0) Share

Posted on by Dai_Xin

Hi team,

I created a PCF control along with Dataset type template, when I use Dataset.columns API to retrieve columns in Test Environment (Debug mode), it shows the column names array. But when I deployed this PCF control into a true Power Apps environment, it returns empty array.

The Dataset.records and Dataset.sortedRecordIds API works well as expected, just the Dataset.columns API not working as expected.

Best Regards,

Kris

Hi @Michaelfp ,

Yes. Just as the screenshot I provided, the Dataset.records API could return proper values as expected except the Dataset.columns API

Hi @Dai_Xin ,

I've noticed the same about 10 days ago with all my Dataset PCFs.
It's a bug. Microsoft published a workaround in the Platform know issues.

Hi @DianaBirkelbach ,

That's great. Thanks for your sharing, it make sense to me. I also found a workaround for this bug - add columns input property for configuring dataset columns.

Best Regards,
Kris
