Editable Entity List or Editable Subgrid PowerApps Portals

Editable Grid PowerApps Portal

In this blog, I am going to explain how we can use PowerAutomate and old school JQuery on PowerApps portal to convert Entity List into editable entity list or subgrid. I am only using the string attributes of the Lead entity for Quick Update in this blog.

How I manipulate the data attributes in entity list using JQuery is shown in the below screenshot

Which looks like There is a method of logging errors from the portal using Azure blob Storage, but this is something that I won’t be discussing today. I will be going ahead and asking for more information for the error on the portal from the Portal User actually experiencing it. Let’s see how we can achieve this thing.
