Power Apps Grid Control - Model Driven App - Multiple Issues

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by psreek 323
I have enabled Power Apps Grid Control for certain views in my model driven app. It looks likes we can only add the component to views and not to the table as a whole. This is the first issue as we want this to apply to the whole model driven app.
 
The main reason we want to use this component is to show the OptionSet colors in the views. This works fine. We also added the option for end users to re-order the columns. Now as soon as the user re-orders the columns, the optionset colors stop working.
 
Next, when the user wants to save a new personal view in the model driven app, again the optionset colors on the columns stop working.

    What I can summarize from your question are below three thing. Also ask user if they do hard refresh still issue pertain regarding color. Sometimes this issue resolve after refresh. Feel free to add more questions if you still getting an issue.

    1. “Grid control only on views (not the whole table)”
      You can apply the Power Apps grid control at the table level so it’s used by all main grids (all views) for that table, not just individual views. When configured on the table’s Controls tab, every view for that table renders with the Power Apps grid (and therefore the OptionSet colors capability). Microsoft Learn

    2. OptionSet colors vanish after users re-order columns
      The colors are driven by the Power Apps grid’s Enable OptionSet colors property. When users re-order columns, the grid persists a per-user layout. In some orgs this personalization can break the color rendering in the current build (a product quirk tied to the Allow column reordering setting). Workarounds below. The OptionSet colors feature itself is documented as a grid property. Microsoft Learn

    3. OptionSet colors vanish on newly saved personal views
      If you only added the grid control on specific views, any newly created personal view won’t inherit that control and will render without OptionSet colors. Applying the Power Apps grid at the table level fixes this for all (system and personal) views. Microsoft Learn

    Also note: if icons/colors disappear broadly (after updates), Microsoft’s troubleshooting guidance points back to verifying the Power Apps grid control is active for the table and that Enable OptionSet colors = Yes, and to check solution layering. Microsoft Learn

    Thanks. Adding at the table level resolved the issue. Did not realize that some settings are still only available in classic mode.

    Interestingly, this worked only in DEV within our unmanaged solution. When we tried to deploy the solution to production, the deployment pipeline came up with this error -

    So the Power Apps Grid Control in my production environment was on version 1.1.232 while my dev was on 1.1.234. Between the two version, there was a difference in the property - NumberOfListColumns
     
    There is no way for me to update the solution which seems to be hidden. The solution is called BaseCutomControlsCore.
     
    Anyways all of a sudden, today the production has been updated to 1.1.235 version while DEV still remains at 1.1.234. But it looks like at least the property NumberOfListColumns is now available in production.
