Known issues and limitations with embedded canvas apps The canvas app custom control is only supported for use with the Web client type. Currently, the Phone and Tablet client types aren't supported. When you create a new record, an embedded canvas app on a form is not displayed even after the record is saved. The ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Data object currently does not work with the Display form and Edit form controls. You can’t use the Canvas App privilege in a security role to grant app users access to either an embedded or standalone canvas app. For more information on sharing an embedded canvas app, please refer to: Share an embedded canvas app. If you write back the same data that is being displayed in the host model-driven form, the form will continue to display old data until it is refreshed. An easy way to do that is to use the RefreshForm method. If you do not see the IntelliSense for the methods to perform predefined actions in embedded canvas apps that were created prior to the functionality being made available; save, close and re-open the app. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/model-driven-apps/embedded-canvas-app-guidelines#enable-an-embedded-canvas-app
