I'm looking for a quick example of how to read an Environment Variable in a PowerApp. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/powerapps/maker/common-data-service/environmentvariables

I've set the variable in my environment. How do I simply read that in a PowerApp and display the current value in a text label?

Answer 1

There are two steps to solve this:

1. Add the "Environment Variables Values" CDS Entity to you App's data source

2. Set the value of the text of the label to be:

   LookUp('Environment Variable Values', 'Environment Variable Definition'.'Schema Name' = "test_environment_data").Value
