A few requests for Environment Variables


The Environment Variables feature in the Power Platform allows users to store and manage system settings without having to build their own solutions. It consists of two tables - Environment Variable Definition (EVD) and Environment Variable Value (EVV). EVD contains the settings definitions, while EVV stores the locally installed solution settings values. However, there are several issues with the out-of-the-box views and forms for these tables. The default views only show limited information and cannot be modified, and the forms are not customizable enough. Additionally, there is a need for custom views, the ability to validate values by type, and easier access to editing the values. The article provides code examples for improving the default views and suggests solutions for the existing problems.
