Ever spent hours tweaking settings only to find a hidden note that changes everything?

I was playing with Subgrids in Dynamics 365, aiming for the perfect user experience.

I often turn on the option ‘Use available space’ to let it auto grow when needed.

But somehow, I don’t get the same behavior as how it worked in the Legacy Web Client.

Frustrating, right?

Today I finally look up ‘Use available space’ in the manual: Note: This property only works with the legacy web client. It has no effect on Unified Interface.

Lesson learned: sometimes, it pays to RTFM! 😅

But Microsoft, why are still showing this option? 🙄

C# devs are having a meltdown… over Go? The TypeScript team is rewriting the compiler… in Go. C# devs expected C#, but Microsoft said nope. Now, the internet is on fire. I get it—C# is powerful, battle-tested, and, well… Microsoft’s own baby. Yet, they still chose Go....
