Can't seem to update Custom Controls in D365?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a PCF control (custom control) in D365 that for some reason I can't update. I have set the version in my solution.xml and in my controlmanifest.xml multiple times to try to get the javascript to install but it just skips over it.

Even though the solution deployment says it succeeds (with the solution version number) when I export the solution the controlmanifest.xml that downloads is the originally deployed version.

It seems crazy that you can't update a custom control that you have deployed so I have to be missing something

example Scenario:

  • Starting Solution version = 1.02
  • Starting controlmanifest.xml version = 0.0.123
  • install new solution with version 1.03. & 1.0.1
  • Solution shows as 1.03 & Logs show that the control was processed
  • Download the Solution (export)
  • Solution xml show version 1.03 (good)
  • controlmanifest.xml version 0.0.123 (what, what???)
  • control javascript still the old javascript (v 0.0.123)

I should note this is an unmanaged solution and the control is then shared with our primary customizations solution (also unmanaged) that deploys out to UAT and PROD.

    I'll post there, I just posted here because reading on line this felt like a D365 specific issue not a Power Apps generically..

    Hello,

    I would recommend to create a thread here - powerusers.microsoft.com/.../pa_component_framework

    PCF team actively monitoring that forum so there is a higher chance to get your question answered.
