Hierarchy Control Replacement with What ? 2024 release wave 2 deprecation

(5) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Scott Jackson UK 24
Does anyone know of any alternatives for the built in Hierarchy Control without writing your own PCF control ?
 
I am aware that the existing control is being deprecated, and that you can use it by enabling the switch as per the instructions on the deprecation notice at: Important changes (deprecations) coming in Power Platform - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

However, with 2024 Wave 2 and the New Look, it does not display the data correctly as it only shows the first 12 characters of each data field. 
 
We have logged a ticket and Microsoft aren't going to fix it for the new look, so I am on the hunt for a replacement as soon as I can.
 
Any suggestions appreciated as I want us to avoid building our own PCF control.
 
Thanks in advance

    Thank you for the responses., the PCF Gallery Hierarchy Control looks very interesting and we will be evaluating it to see if we can use it in our environment

    Hello Scott,
     
    I believe Clément Olivier has already developed the PCF control that is available under the https://pcf.gallery/
     
    Please refer the Hierarchy Control https://pcf.gallery/hierarchy-control/ and you can download the control through GitHub site https://github.com/carfup/PCF_HierarchyControl along with steps on how to configure the control.

    Microsoft has announced the deprecation of the hierarchy control in model-driven apps, effective October 2024, with complete removal slated for October 2025. This control, which visualizes relationships between records, will no longer be supported due to low usage, accessibility issues, and incompatibility with the modern app interface.  
    Companies like Resco have introduced PCF controls designed to replace the deprecated hierarchy control, offering features that integrate seamlessly with existing systems.

    Also annoyed with this being removed and hoping someone cleverer than me can create a replacement.

    Hello all,
     
    I am experiencing the exact same situation. Just hoping to be included in any solutions that are being presented via the PCF control.

    Yes, need a replacement asap!
    My organization relies on the Account Hierarchy heavily and now its pretty messed up.
    We have much that relies on this in and out of the system and is going to create a lot of workaround work without it.
     
    Hopefully someone out there has a solution before this goes away completely.
