Canvas Power App development can be a little challenging, particularly if you are coming from a Dynamics CRM / 365 background. Understanding, for example, how to work with option sets within is not immediately clear. Fortunately, once you understand what’s involved, it’s easy to start doing some amazing things…
Dynamics 365 and Power Platform developers should always use Business Rules over JavaScript / TypeScript form functions. Full stop. However, there are situations where the native capabilities within Business Rules are not up to scratch, such as when you start working with multi-select option set fields…
By configuring your canvas app form control to display the record you've just created automatically, you can provide a helpful step for the users of your app. In this week's blog post, I'll show you the steps involved to achieve this requirement.
Application users within Dynamics 365 / the Common Data Service arguably provide a far superior option when compared to traditional service accounts with a user name and password. In today's post, we'll dive and find out more about them.

OAuth authentication, especially involving the Common Data Service or Dynamics 365, is a subject you may not grasp fully the first time around. The technical setup required can be tricky to understand or even implement at all, meaning you find yourself dealing with error codes such as AADSTS65001.
For an exam like MB-400, which targets developers building code-heavy solutions targeting Dynamics 365 or the Power Platform, you'd expect Microsoft to skip a topic like Business Rules entirely. However, they are very much a feature you should use and fully understand.
Traditionally, Dynamics CRM developers would find themselves constrained by the capabilities within traditional workflows. With some of the exciting innovations that Power Automate brings to the fore, it becomes possible to do some pretty amazing things, which is why they are a central topic for exam MB-400…
In last week's post in my MB-400 exam series, we saw how you can use model-driven apps to build data-driven applications. The other type of Power Apps - canvas apps - throws this approach completely on its head, by providing a wholly tailorable visual and data access experience.
