Set managed properties for columns

Managed properties only apply when you include columns in a managed solution and import the solution into another environment. These settings allow a solution maker to have some control over the level of customization that people who install their managed solution can have when they customize this column.

To view and set managed properties for a column, follow these steps:

  1. Sign into Power Apps and select Solutions from the left navigation. If the item isn’t in the side panel pane, select …More and then select the item you want.
  2. Open the solution, and then on the command bar select Switch to classic.
  3. Expand Entities, expand the table you want, and then select Fields.
  4. Select the column you want.
  5. On the command bar select More Actions, and then select Managed Properties.
  6. Select the managed properties options you want, and then select Set.

Managed properties options

The Can be customized option controls all the other options. If this option is False, none of the other settings apply. When it is True, you can specify the other customization options.

If the column is customizable, you set the following options to True or False.

  • Display name can be modified

  • Can change requirement level

  • Can change Additional Properties

These options are self-explanatory. If you set all the individual options to False, you might as well set Can be customized to False.
