Problem Statement:

Customers are experiencing frustration due to the inability to selectively hide the "Open in Excel Online" button for specific tables in their environment - model-driven apps that were manually created. While the Ribbon Workbench tool offers a workaround, it is a community-supported solution and not officially maintained or endorsed by Microsoft.

Customer Need:

There is a clear demand from multiple users for a native, Microsoft-supported feature that allows administrators to control the visibility of the "Open in Excel Online" button at the table level. This would enhance governance, improve user experience, and reduce reliance on unsupported tools.

Current Limitation:

Although Ribbon Workbench provides a way to customize the ribbon, it is not an official Microsoft product. Customers are hesitant to rely on it for production environments due to concerns about long-term support and compatibility.

Request:

Introduce an officially supported configuration option within the Power Platform or Dynamics 365 admin settings that enables administrators to hide the "Open in Excel Online" button for selected tables in the model-driven apps that were manually created.

Currently, custom columns added to the Project - Grid view are fully editable.

Customers have expressed the need for greater control over these fields. Specifically, they would like the ability to configure certain custom columns as read-only, to prevent unintended edits and maintain data integrity.

Proposed Enhancement:

Introduce a setting or property that allows administrators to mark specific custom fields in the Grid view as read-only. This would improve governance and support use cases where data should be visible but not editable by end users.
