Looks like we can now show Child Items in our views using the Power Apps grid control.

I couldn’t find any official documentation yet, and this feature is still in preview so test it properly before using it in your Production environments.

To confirgure it.

  1. Hi Dani!
    Thanks for this information. I tried it out and it worked, but only for relationshipt: N:1 and 1:N, I need to add a child grid as you explain in your blog, but using a relationship: N:N in this specific case it didn’t work, do you know if there is a way to achive this?
    Thanks!!

    • Hmmm… I am not aware of anything for N:N relationship. You can always create your datamodel using a “bridge” entity between the 2 tables. I very rarely use N:N because there are a lot of limitations.
