• Power Platform Catalog management IS BROKEN

    I was advised to go this route, for a ticket that was placed on 10/28 regarding the release of the power platform catalog.


    When a Catalog is created, a solution alongside it is installed in the target environment (either created from the wizard or selected from your current environments)


    If for any reason this catalog needs to be marked active/inactive after install, it will not accept your change. If the catalog needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled, either for testing purposes, et al. you are no longer allowed to install the catalog in an environment where a catalog previously existed. Deleting the appropriate solution, components, tables, etc will still not allow you to select an environment to create a catalog in.


    Upon bringing this to microsoft, intent that this must be a bug, i was advised to create a new environment which based on capacity is not a viable solution for most companies, as it is inferred that with a catalog in your environment, you are utilizing an amount of dataverse capacity that is not returned. When voicing the concern for what appears to be a broken process, i was advised that catalog uninstalls are not supported which is a extremely detrimental when trying to grow the platforms user-base!


    While the rep i worked with was kind and understanding, and i dont believe this is the place to submit something that is clearly a bug, to an ideas page, I will still champion this!
