Convert standard Power Page model to enhanced

Hi All,

Anyone found a way to convert existing standard model Power Page into enhanced model within the same environment?


If so, can you advise how this can be done (tried website record binding to no avail)?

I would like to convert it to benefit from the new ALM capabilities for Power Pages as I tested this and the deployment went smoothly, but this is currently limited between enhanced data models 😞

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Hi @Zlatan,

Unfortunately, currently, there is no way to convert an existing website record to the enhanced data model. Only newly created websites after you enabled the enhanced data model will be set with it. Maybe in the future when this functionality will reach GA we will have a migration path, but so far no announcements or plans like that were published by Microsoft.

Hi 

This seems the most relevant topic to post my question.

 

Having gone around the houses to work out how to rollout Power Pages to test using solutions, a standard ALM procedure,  (you have to upgrade to the Enhanced Data Model). You then are faced with having to rebuild your site as the original 'standard' version isn't upgraded (as per the request above) - you can reuse the functional elements (views/lists and forms) which cuts down some of the work.

 

However, a major blocker now is that the option to add Actions to list has disappeared. 

 

In standard lists I have...

In enhanced lists I have...

How do I get the Actions option for lists back in enhanced mode?

 

This is essential for triggering/opening follow-on actions i.e.

  • Create a new record
  • Edit a record
  • View a record
  • Delete a record
  • Etc.

I'm supposed to be rolling the site out to test this week and expected to be able to use Solutions in the same way as I do with PowerApps (this is my first Power Pages site). 

 

I'm aware that Enhanced data is only Preview but this seems to be a fundamental bit missing. 

Is there a setting that I need to enable? If so where is it? (And why isn't it on by default?) 

If not is my only option to down-grade to Standard and then manually recreate the site in my test environment - am I even able to downgrade without getting more issues to deal with?

 

A prompt reply (solution) would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advacne.

Hi @Gary_Eden,

Unfortunately, this is a known problem with Enhanced Model, but there is no indication when it will be resolved. Regarding downgrade/upgrade - I would not play with it, to be honest and try to separate Standard/Enhanced portal especially for production scenarios.

Hi @OOlashyn

Disappointing news.

So in summary you have to stick with Standard and manually recreate the site in from dev to test & live.

Fortunately, my first venture into Power Pages isn't overly complex (but did require quite a few work arounds to get it to tag authenticated users correctly).

 

However, until the Solution ALM process is fixed I'll stick with PowerApps/PowerApps for Teams for now.

1 step forward, 2 steps back.
