"Why Can't I Create a New Record in a Subgrid with an N:N Relationship in My Model-Driven App?"

Posted on by 40
I'm working on a model-driven app in Power Apps, and I have a subgrid that displays records from a related table. The relationship between these tables is many-to-many (N:N). However, I'm unable to create a new record directly within the subgrid; it only allows me to add existing records. Is there a setting or configuration I'm missing that would enable the creation of new records in this scenario? Any guidance would be appreciated!

    I'm having the same issue. It does seem like the N:N relationship is the reason this fails.
    Add &ribbondebug=true to your URL and you can see that it responds a 'false' value for that button and refers to the relationship being thie issue.
     
    However I don't understand why this is an issue... you can still create a new related record once you click on 'add existing':
