PCF - Custom Dialog with a submit button

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 905

Hello everyone,

In a table ribbon, I have a custom button. When I click on this button I would like to launch a dialogue box that will contain inside it a text field and a submit button.
When the submit button is clicked inside the dialogue I want to create around 1k records in a table.

I did some research and found that custom pages using powerapps canvas will allow us to create this dialogue:
https://dianabirkelbach.wordpress.com/?s=dialog.
However, If I want to proceed with powerapps canvas to build this dialogue, later the number of records will grow that should be created in the other table and I don’t think the power apps canvas will be the solution as I might have more complex logic to validate data before doing the creation of the records.

I want to know what are the options that will allow me to create a dialogue using PCF control since PCF it’s more flexible than canvas while calling the web API to create large set of records, do some logic validations, and so on.

Also, I thought about an option and I would like to know if it's possible:
I could create the dialogue using Canvas since it will be much easier than PCF to customize and design but will it be possible when the submit button is clicked to call/execute a webAPI or a plugin that should perform the create operation?

Could you please provide an example of the above or documentation that shows how to create a custom dialogue and call a web API using PCF control?

Any help is highly appreciated!

Best regards,
EBMRay

    Hi ,

    Thank you for sharing the above links.

    I wanted to ask you about the background process that should be triggered to perform the creation of the records other than taking into consideration Power Automate or a Plugin due to 2 mins timeout.

    What is the handy tool that we should use to develop our logic on which will trigger to create the records in the background?

    Looking forward to your response.

    Best regards,

    EBMRay
