Canvas App Code Reuse

This XrmToolBox tool allows you to replace the formula of Power Apps canvas app by injecting it between the specified comment tags (developed by Alex Shlega).

In canvas app development, there is no simple way to reuse the same code/formulas without a hidden button OnSelect workaround.

To use the same code in multiple places of the canvas app, you can add "code tags" in those places and use this tool to add/replace the code snippet between those "code tags".
