Posted on by YuanShijie

I have set two properties in my PCF .

 <property name="buttonName" display-name-key="buttonName_key" description-key="buttonName" of-type="SingleLine.Text" usage="bound" required="true" />
 <property name="closeTrigger" display-name-key="closeTrigger_key" description-key="closeTrigger" of-type="SingleLine.Text" usage="bound" required="true" />

After 'npm start' command, it displays rightly as I set.

But after I create a solution and import it into my canvas, it only has one property left.

Well, just judging by the name here, that second parameter is just a 'trigger' and doesn't need to be bound, right? Try just setting it as usage="input" instead.

Hi
Thank you for your advice, I did as you said.
But after I rebuild my solution and import to my canvas, nothing changed.
I even changed one of my property name from "buttonName" to "buttonDsipName",
but this name still not changed in canvas.

@YuanShijie in order to see updates in your component you will have to perform the following steps:

increase the component number in the manifest file. You can check this for a reference - https://dianabirkelbach.wordpress.com/2020/12/23/all-about-pcf-versioning/

publish PCF component

in your CanvasApp/Custom Page delete the component, publish the page, reopen the page

re-import the component again

After that changes should be reflected.

Yeah - this is such a pain, but what @a33ik has suggested is very likely part of the issue you're having. After updating the manifest version number when you go to the canvas it will ask you if you want to update the component and you still have to delete the current component from the canvas and add/configure it again and then publish this and the app again before changes will be reflected.

Thank you for your help.
I delete the PCF from the environment instead of Update PCF, then the new properties works.
