Editors

PowerPortalsPro provides a set of editor components for data entry and editing within a RecordContext. Each editor binds to a Dataverse column via the ColumnName parameter and automatically resolves its metadata, validation rules, and display format from the table schema.

Basic Input

• Text Edit — Single-line text input
• Memo Edit — Multi-line text area
• Number Edit — Numeric input with formatting and range validation
• Money Edit — Currency input with locale-specific formatting
• Bool Edit — Checkbox and toggle for boolean values

Date and Time

• Date Edit — Date picker with calendar interface

Selection

• Choice Edit — Dropdown or radio buttons for single-value selections
• Multi-Select Choice Edit — Checkbox list or multi-select for multiple values
• Lookup Edit — Entity lookup with search and filtering

File and Media

• File Edit — File upload with drag-and-drop support
• Image Edit — Image upload with preview

Common Features

All editor components share the following features:

• Column Binding — Set the ColumnName parameter to bind the editor to a Dataverse column within a RecordContext
• Metadata-Driven — Labels, validation rules, and formatting are resolved automatically from the table metadata
• Dirty Tracking — Changes are tracked by the parent RecordContext and MainContext
• Validation — Built-in client-side validation based on column metadata constraints
• Accessibility — Keyboard navigation and screen reader support via Fluent UI

Tip

You can also use ColumnEdit instead of a specific editor type. It automatically selects the appropriate editor based on the column's data type.
