Use Command checker (ribbondebug=true) to identify the Ribbon Customizations Issue – Dataverse / Dynamics 365

Appending ribbondebug=true to the record’s URL adds the new Command checker button in the command bar, which could help us in troubleshooting any unexpected behavior with ribbon.

Recently we added one enable rule to an existing button (Go Live) in the Customer Journey table. The rule was calling a JavaScript web resource based on the security role assigned to the user hiding or showing the button on the form.

Click on the Command checker to open the window on the side pane, where we can then select our button.

In the command properties tab, we can see our custom enable rule showing an error.

Also here clicking in View rule definition solution layers provides us the detail that this rule has been added as part of an unmanaged layer.

Clicking on the Unmanaged layer further provides us with the definition of the enable rule.

Going back to the error, we figured out that the function was missing from the web resource, and adding the function fixed the issue for us.

Back in the Command checker, we can see the custom Enable Rule getting evaluated correctly.

How to – Hide Approve / Reject Button in Approval Email in Power Automate Approval Workflow

Recently we had a requirement to remove or hide the Approve and Reject buttons from the approval email as we wanted the user to manage it all from the Approval Center.

The way we implemented this is by replacing the Start and wait for an approval action with Create an approval, Send email notification and Wait for an approval action.

For Create an approval action, set Enable notifications as No this makes sure no email is sent.

Followed by– in the body, specify Send an email notification the Approval Center link.

Followed by Wait for an approval, specify the Approval ID there.

And the Condition control and the required logic.

After running the flow, the user will get the email and can click the link to navigate to the Approval center.

The user can then take the required action from within the Approval center.

The flow will wait for the user
