PCF Controls Tips & Tricks : How to detect Authoring Mode
When you configure a PCF control on a Dataverse model-driven app, the form designer will try to render the control even though it’s not running in the actual app context.
This usually isn’t a problem, but for complex controls that depend on runtime data, it can cause errors—and even break the form designer.
Moreover, as a PCF developer, you might want to show a simplified or placeholder version of your control in the form designer to help makers understand how it will look when the app actually runs.
