Question

You are building a command bar button in a model-driven app using the modern command designer with Power Fx. The button labeled 'Submit for Approval' should only be enabled when the current record's Status field (a choice column named 'statuscode') equals the 'Draft' value, and it should be hidden entirely for any other status. You need to configure both the button's visibility and its enabled behavior with the least amount of code and without writing a JavaScript web resource. Which approach should you use?

Accepted Answer

Set the button's Visible property to a Power Fx formula that evaluates Self.Selected.Item.Status = 'Status (statuscode)'.Draft, and use the OnSelect action to open a confirmation.

Answer

Set the Visible property to a Power Fx formula referencing Self.Selected.Item.Status and register a separate JavaScript enable rule for the disabled state.

Answer

Configure classic ribbon EnableRules and DisplayRules in the ribbon XML because Power Fx cannot evaluate choice column values.

Answer

Set the OnSelect property to check the status and cancel execution if it is not Draft, leaving Visible set to true so the button always appears.
