Unfortunately, PowerApps Portals do not yet support these field types out-of-the-box on Web Forms or Entity Forms.
If you have a question on any of these posts, please leave a comment. Set authentication requirements, customize data for each user, and allow users to submit their information privately with straightforward admin controls. How do I verify if my portal is the correct version?
Many were extremely happy when multiselect option sets were added in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement v9. While this standard will work with Web Forms, I’ve chosen to use Entity Forms as my preferred solution the large majority of the time. ISV Studio is designed to become the go-to Power Platform destination for ISV’s to monitor & manage published applications.

Since Liquid is rendered on the server, you will need to retrieve any data before you start doing some major operations. ( Log Out /
You can add JavaScript functions to Web Templates between tags.
Easily match websites to the look and feel of your branding with customizable portal templates and responsive themes.
No Entity Form Submit, No Companion App, just using the Portal Web API! However, with the upcoming release of PowerApps Portals I thought it might be a good time to re-visit some of the older Dynamics 365 Portals posts and revamp them for the new PowerApps Portals, as it is based on the same technology. Thanks Nick, this and your More Power to Portals session have got me up and running with the API.
That was a very simple use case and example, I hope it inspires you with some new ways to solve some challenges when creating portal applications.
However, if you wanted to build something like a custom control such as an editable grid, you had to build some kind of companion app to call as an API from the portal page to update the data without having to navigate away from the current web page.

Hi @carlostrujillo ,.
Proposal. Portals Web API access entity records and follow portal’s entity permissions, and these entity permissions get enforce to users through web role. In order to communicate with the CDS endpoint, the code will need a token and validate that the call is coming from the portal. Absent is the ability to read records from the Common Data Service. When browsing as example it shows an incomplete page: After I change the Page template in the Portal Studio to a Full Page for example the preview renders but as blank: When browsing as example after this it shows an blank page: In the new What You See Is What You Get Designer, In the Model Driven App Portal Management --> select the Page, As an authenticated Portal User that has the Administrators web rol --> you get a special menu where you can edit page settings directly. This is a scalable solution for page templates where user just needs to assign page property and template takes care of rendering. I have had to find workarounds for this issue and one of them, I’ll describe in this post. Terminal steps do not have a next time, and are thus the last step of the Web Form (due to conditional branching, there can be multiple terminal steps), Configure a portal I double checked with advanced find and no records were created or modified on the Track or Contact entities, only on the Like entity (success!). Contact your Microsoft representative for more information.
However, if you wanted to build something like a custom control such as an editable grid, you had to build some kind of companion app to call as an API from the portal page to update the data without having to navigate away from the current web page. Once the Web Template was created, I needed to create a corresponding Page Template, and then added a page using that template in the Portal Management Studio. If you have referenced the webform with page, then you can use the page field reference instead of name in webform. Please notice that: Anytime steps are changed, it is recommended that you delete all Web Form Session records to eliminate miss match between sequence of steps logged in history and the current sequence.. This will be blank for single step single form. Because I am updating a Boolean field I set the JSON string pairs to be the field name and the value “TRUE”. Here is how the Web Template renders on the portal; In my example, I would need to update the rbms_approved boolean field on the rbms_timeentry (custom) entity. Then the easy way is to embed a “Quick View” form on my model driven main form used as the basis for the Entity Form on the web page. Empower anyone—either inside or outside your organization—to interact with Common Data Service data using portals. Typically, the number of web roles in a portal is limited as the number of different combinations of permissions would be limited as well. The feature provides the following capabilities during this public preview: Please note that your portal version must be 9.2.6.41 or later for this feature to work. Have you had a go with these? If the Time Entry was already approved, I would show a corresponding checkbox field as “checked” and a function call to “unapprove” the Time Entry.
Class Details Web page. One of the features missing from Power Apps portals (Dynamics 365 Online Portals) since it became an exclusively cloud service is the ability to write a function to create, update, read or delete (CRUD) data in the Common Data Service.

Of course, anyone using the Common Data Service WebAPI on a regular basis would already know this. Our next step is to create the Site Settings to allow the Portal Web API to access this entity and field.

Another lesson learnt is that the API (as much as I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT) seems inconsistent in the casing required when setting lookup fields. Page view capacity add-on.
Access self-help guides to help you get started with portals. The following is an overview of the steps that I took to build a *very* simple web page where I could update records in the Common Data Service.
The following example demonstrates adding a custom validator.
Begin your free 30-day trial to build portals in Power Apps. Indicates whether the user is given an option to navigate to the previous step in a multiple step web form. I expect this apparent permissions issue will be resolved in a later version of the API.

You can directly include it as liquid tag in page copy (content area): 2.
My name is Nick Doelman. A like is related to both a Track (musdyn_track) and a Contact (contact) via lookup fields. See documentation here for detailed overview.
You can create and update data on a portal using Entity forms and Web forms, as well as triggering workflows. Page view capacity add-on. Enable external users to access custom portals . The exciting prospect is that this will provide the foundation for Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) controls on Power Apps portals, which will open up a whole new world of possibilities.
Give internal and external users secure access to your data either anonymously or through commercial authentication providers like LinkedIn, Microsoft, Facebook, and Google, or enterprise providers such as Azure AD B2C and Okta. We want to create three (3) nearly-identical Entity Forms for the sake of this example. This will … Regards. ( Log Out / The step that will follow the current step. You can extend this method to add custom validation logic. You really do not need to stress too much over this because Microsoft has provided a Wrapper AJAX function that you can cut and paste into your code.

However, over the last week or so, the preview has been rolling out to tenants allowing Power App portal developers to try out the new WebAPI. So I created entities, created entity forms and these all work fine on portal pages in the Form control... so far so good. Technology enthusiast. I have no idea and I haven’t tried it yet, something to add to the list of things to try! Once the entity permissions are setup, you can link them to the appropriate Web Role.

You can setup Entity permissions using the Portal Management App. The webform never shows up, always blank. Check out the on demand sessions that are available now!

The Web Form Step provides the flow logic of the form's user experience such as steps and conditional branching. Bring data from the apps you use—including Power BI and Power Automate—together with Common Data Service and enable your users to interact with it anytime, anywhere . You can create and update data on a portal using Entity forms and Web forms, as well as triggering workflows.
