On the official deprecations list (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/important-changes-coming) the reason for it being removed in a month is: "Due to low usage, issues with accessibility, and incompatibility with the modern look, the hierarchy control will no longer be supported." - not fitting with the new look as one of the main reasons? And instead of making it more accessible you remove it? If it was not accessible then it also may explain 'low usage' right?
Another note on the low usage part - As someone mentioned people generally use self referencing tables. I can imagine lots of companies could rely on them, for example imagine sales departments being able to view relationships between nested clients for thousands of their clients. Or for basicaly any nested entity - as it is just representation of parent-child relationship, which is like the most basic relationship there is for entities.
But If the usage is so low why bother with the Hierarchical Visualization control in Dynamics 365 Sales, when in the official deprciation list I linked above Microsof just said that, quote:
"This feature is fully removed October 2025. If the hierarchy view is essential to your app, a custom PCF control
that handles the hierarchy view must be created and deployed." It seems the general plan was to leave users on their own, but I see that something changed.
Maybe there were some signals from people,that the feature is in fact crucial, and thus the V1 of the new control is being created? Anyways, I hope that this rushed V1 will come in a way that allows for seamless switch form the old hierarchy control to the new one, or that the elimination of the current hierarchy control will be postponed. Because, as I understand, old one is removed in October, and V1 of the new one will be available in October? But is it at the start or end of October? I guess we'll see soon enough.
I'm struggling to implement hierarchical view in our CRM Model Driven Power App in our org for a few days now, and learned that the feature is hidden and in the process of being put down for bogus reasons, with no good replacements. I can imagine there are more people like me, not all of them will stumble upon this thread here.
I'll be frank, this is ridiculous.
