Deploying a Custom PCF Control

Report

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I build a custom PCF control. The control is working properly on PCF Control Sandbox. Then I created a Solution, added the Control Components to the solution and deployed to CRM. The solution is on CRM and the content (custom control was visible).

I tried to use the control on a form field but the control is not available.

What is the root cause if this issue?

Thanks

Zsolt

"Data type declared is the manifest doesn't match the field you are trying to configure" would be my guess.

Please share the manifest and field type you are trying to configure .

Try to change the type of the field from "input" to "bound" like:

<property name="boundTo" display-name-key="Bound To" description-key="Field name to bind to" of-type="SingleLine.Text" usage="bound" required="true" />

What is the datatype of field where you want to bind it? As suggested by @a33ik make usage as bound which will work only for SingleLine.Text fields.
