Despite import the solution, creating the NN relationship and the search field, the NN Dropdown control does not appear in the search field.

What could be the problem?

Currently the component is unable to display self-referencing N:N relationships (when an entity has an N:N to itself) due to the field names being different in the intersect entity. This causes the FetchXml queries and dropdown logic to break.

In a standard intersect entity the ID fields for the respective entities are always named following the pattern '{entityname}id' (for example) 'new_entityid' and 'accountid', this is assumed and implemented in the component.

However with a self-referencing N:N, the intersect entity can not contain two fields named '{entityname}id', the Dataverse auto-corrects for this by using a different pattern, namely: '{entityname}idone' for the left side and '{entityname}idtwo' for the right side of the relationship.

I've created this issue to attach a PR to address this issue :-)

Hello, does anyone know how to define a FetchXML filter that sorts the data in an accent-insensitive way?
Because currently, the component lists our accented data (French) in an accent-sensitive order whereas in Dataverse the sorting lists the data in the expected accent-insensitive order.
Thank you in advance if any of you has any clue that could guide us to a solution. Best regards.

Hi,
is there a way to make filling the "dropdown" REQUIRED, after saving the record of course?
I have a business scenario where the user should fill in the field where I am using this PCF control, and triggering a JS onchange of the field is not successful as we are not writing any data into to the actual field

thanks

Hi,

I changed the fetchxml to get distinct values of the column, after changing to new column and changing the primary column to point to this new column.

Its not storing the value select in the dropdown and also selecting multiple options is not working, after selecting first value , dropdown closes.

Apprecaite your help

is it possible to pass the values to the filter fetchxml, i have filter on the fetchxml to show values for country, can this country value be dynamically changed based on parent entity field value (country)

Hi! Thanks for this great control! This is exactly what I was looking for.

In addition, it would be nice to allow filtering based on another lookup. Is there currently already a way to achieve this? I thought about binding the TargetEntityFilter to a Text Field, that would contain the fetchXML. I tried this with a calculated field, but calculated fields only work on Single Line of Text fields (and not multiple lines of text).

Keep up the great work!

I have a requirement where I have a toggle that when set to true, it must select one of the options in the drop down.

Is this possible? Is it possible to use JavaScript to programmatically select an option?

Hi Niels,

Does the NNDropdown work in the PowerApps portal as well?

Best regards, Geron

Hi,
First of all this is an awesome PCF control, and thank you for it.
I discovered that there might be a bug on the "TargetEntityFilter" in which we enter the FetchXML filter, but the field truncates everything after 100 characters, which breaks the filter and the control.

appreciate looking into it.

Thanks

Is there a way to get the selected values in a javascript save event handler method? I'm trying this command and it's returning null:

var selectedVals = formContext.getAttribute("xyz_multiselectfield").getValue();

Hi,
I was able to implement the custom control and with the filter too, and the records show up from the target entity very nicely...but it does not save any data to the relationship!
am I missing anything here?

Hi,

Parameter for storing FetchXml is marked as a Multiple text field, but it has limit of only 100 characters and my FetchXml can't fit in.
Can this be extended?

Thanks

Hi

It's not clear whether this only works for pure N:N relationships, or whether it can work with a custom intersect table and two 1:N relationships (such that other use cases can added additional fields to the intersect table). Also not clear if the names entered into the controls need to be the names (typically all lower case) or Schema names (which can include capitals)

Hi,
First of all, many thank for your fantastic component !!! It's working like a charm :-)
In one of my forms, I would like to turn the NNDropDown component in read-only when current record statecode is "Inactive" but I cannot find how to do it ?
Thanks for your help.
