One of the features that has been frequently requested is the ability for app authors to <strong>quickly and easily add forms to apps without having to build them from scratch<\/strong>. This is especially helpful when the forms are designed to work with existing data and common form design patterns such as displaying a list of records, viewing or editing a record are needed.<\/p>\n<p>The PowerApps team is working hard to make this feature a reality and today we are happy to announce our first step in that direction. We have recently added an experimental control named Entity form in PowerApps. <strong>The Entity form control enables app authors to quickly add a form <\/strong><strong>that enables end-users to view, navigate and edit relational data <strong>from the <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/powerapps.microsoft.com\/guided-learning\/learning-common-data-service\/\"><strong>Common Data Service<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>Entity form control can be used with <a href=\"https:\/\/powerapps.microsoft.com\/en-us\/guided-learning\/learning-common-data-service-entities\/\">standard<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/powerapps.microsoft.com\/en-us\/guided-learning\/learning-common-data-service-custom-entities\/\">custom<\/a> Common Data Service entities.<\/p>\n<p>We are calling this experimental for the following reasons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Our goal is to allow quick addition of rich forms for all data source types, but the Entity form control currently only supports Common Data Service.<\/li>\n<li>Entity form control provides limited customization capabilities compared to other PowerApps controls.<\/li>\n<li>Entity form control is an initial exploration aimed at gathering feedback from our community to help guide the feature and future releases. This could result in significant changes to the control and limited backward compatibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given the experimental nature, we recommend not using the Entity form control in production apps, at least for now. However, we invite you to try the Entity form control and let us know what you think about it and the overall feature to enable quickly adding rich forms to apps.<\/p>\n<h2>Entity form control features and capabilities<\/h2>\n<p>Entity form control is very <strong>versatile and can be used in many different scenarios<\/strong>.
