Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Azure and other experiences around Microsoft Technologies
I have been recently testing the new Custom API functionality and how it could be integrated with spkl. This article describes some of those tests and the current status. In case you are not familiar with spkl, it is a great development and open-source tool created and driven by Scott Durow (thanks for all this … Continue reading Deploy Custom API using spkl
In my previous post, I described how you could retrieve the labels of a choices column (multi-select optionset attribute) using a classic Dynamics Workflow.

The functionality to restore backups in Dynamics 365 CRM / Customer Engagement / Common Data Service has been there for a while now. Have you actually used it in a real project in production? 😶 This week we actually didn't have a choice.

The new Power Apps Maker experience for model-driven apps is catching up more and more with the old classic one.
