I know I have my biases, but I think the answer is still no.
Power Pages: Data Change Request Architecture
January 31, 2026 5 Min.To ReadA few months ago I put out a tip on our YouTube Channel called Data Change Request Architecture, where I described how, for critical data, instead of allowing users to directly edit their information in Dataverse, I prefer to create an additional table where the user creates a change request row. Then, once approved, the changes are made to the primary rows in Dataverse. In this post, I’m going to walk through one way to do that, using JavaScript and Liquid to enhance the user experience a little bit.

March 6, 2023 5 Min.To ReadThe growth of Power Pages has been an amazing story. Since being acquired by Microsoft in 2015, the product has gone from a niche add-on for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement to a full-fledged product in the Power Platform. The visibility that comes with getting equal billing to other Power Platform products like Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate means that new people are discovering Power Pages all of the time. However, as with any software product, Power Pages isn’t always a fit, even if your project fall under the category of low code web application development platforms. In this post, I will share what I look for when trying to determine if Power Pages is a fit for a given project.

Power Pages: Adding a Custom Form Modal to List Action Buttons
December 8, 2023 6 Min.To ReadRecently there was a comment on my blog Power Apps Portals: Related Entity as Source of Next Web Form Step about adding a custom Edit button to a list or subgrid. In this case, rather than editing the main row in the table, they wanted to edit a row that was related to the main row. If you want the edit form to pop up in a modal, it requires a bit of JavaScript. In this post, I’ll go through what you need to do in order to achieve this functionality.
