Dear all,
I’m encountering a frustrating issue with Command Buttons visibility in Model-Driven Apps.
The command buttons that I have created using command bar editor are hidden when certain criteria are met, using Power FX formula for visibility and that works perfectly in the Developer environment. It also works as expected in two environments where I have imported the solution as managed. For example:
However, in two environments where I have imported the solution as unmanaged, the command buttons are always visible regardless of formula being correct and same as in original solution. I have also tried to put explicit false to Visible parameter (without formula) but the result is the same.
Note that when I click on any of the buttons they perform perfectly (they call proper JavaScript functions).
These are the things that I have tried until now:
- Creating new button, making it hidden (IsVisble = false) – same result
- Opening component library, checking if formulas are the same, refreshed data sources, making changes there and saving them.
- Regenerating Ribbon Metadata using Command Checker.
- Publish all customizations from classic Editor.
I would appreciate any idea how to solve this problem.
Regards,
Milos
Hi @billwinder ,
Not 100%, but it worked for some environments.
Here is a brief description of the process that is done in the environment where command buttons are always visible:
1. Default Component Library (that is used for buttons) -> Make a change for one button (Visible from expression to false)
2. Save and then Publish the Component Library
3. Publish all customization
4. Select App -> Edit -> Select View or Form where your buttons are. Create additional button.
5. Publish all customization.
6. Import again the solution (that you originally used) and publish all customization after.
However, I haven't found the cause and still looking. It is clear that is MS bug, because enable rules for command buttons are not loaded properly.
As it can be seen from the screenshot above Enable Rule -> ExpressionRule returns error and because of that it will return true for visibility since that is the default value.
I'm having the same trouble with button visibility. In my buttons I use the function RecordInfo(Self.Selected.Item,RecordInfo.DeletePermission) to distinguish between two types of profiles with different permissions and it worked for a really long time. However, its visibility stopped working recently claiming there's a syntax error when I use "Self.Selected.Item" as a record argument:
I have checked command checker for this button and Enable Rule -> ExpressionRule returns error, as well. I haven't contacted Microsoft about this but I'm hoping you have some thoughts on this.
