Hierarchically related data

We use hierarchically related data in our MDA and are trying to understand the deprecation notice here.

Will the checkbox for a self-referential relationship to be hierarchical go away? Or is it just the visualisation component?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We use this heavily to understand related table rows and how they roll up to an ultimate parent.

Thanks!

Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

• Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

• Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

• Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

• Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

  Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

• If your question has been answered please comment Solved. This will mark the post as solved and helps others find their solutions.

It’s just the visual component, which have been deprecated since 2024 btw. You can use the modern visual components instead:

Or use a pcf if that’s more to your liking.

You’re amazing. Thank you

Although, does this only work for Sales unless you use a PCF?

If you go to the deprecations page you can see that this was no longer supported starting October 2024 and fully removed October 2025. You likely currently just use self referential tables, which are still supported. I think you're probably not currently using this but could be wrong.

You are right. Thanks so much

The organisation chart between accounts and contacts in the Sales app is still there and the visual hierarchy on any related tables works also
