Power Apps

Modern advanced find turned on by default – Classic advanced find is slow and clunky, newer version definitely have improved look and feel.
View only relevant activities in dropdown – This greatly helps in user experience perspective.
Connect to external data from Dataverse – Virtual table with standard connector like SQL Server, Excel file, or Microsoft List
View form updates to command bar, business process flow, header, and tabs – Helps to configure multi-entity forms. More control to collaborate related entity forms in the parent form.

Power Automate

Improvements to the OData editor in cloud flows – This makes life more easy in terms of forming the filters and conditions. No need to worry about remembering schema names. Still lets to specify manually as old way too.

Greater control over connection reference creation and reuse – Hurray ! no more unused connection reference all over the place.
Improved experience for editing expressions – Good bye! to the finicky small editor that is really hard to visualise the formula.

Microsoft Dataverse

Enable Power Fx in Dataverse business rules – Fx formula are the new norms.
Use optimized APIs for bulk data operations – APIs for bulk operations is must one to have.
Virtual tables between Dataverse instances – Connecting Dataverse instances using virtual tables help large organisation having duplicate tables in different instances.

Governance and Administration

Manage business units, teams, and access team templates in the Power Platform admin center – UI experience with the current settings are too old and quite boring. Excited to see the enhancements.

Pro Development

Automate connection creation using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions – ALM enhancements are always welcome.

As a Software Consultant by trade, I excel in the intricate art of designing and developing software applications, skillfully navigating through complex technical puzzles. My professional life revolves around programming, but away from the computer, I'm an ardent sports aficionado. I actively participate in a variety of sports, savoring the exhilaration of competition and the joys of physical exertion. In moments of respite from the adrenaline of sports and the focus of coding, I retreat into the rich realms of literature. My love for reading is eclectic, spanning various genres, each quenching my endless curiosity and love for storytelling. More recently, I've embarked on a journey into writing, a venture where I channel my thoughts and imaginative flair into written expressions, exploring this new avenue of creativity with enthusiasm.
