Business value
Virtual tables with this feature are solution aware. You can add virtual tables to a solution, and you can export and import them into different environments.
Feature details
Environment variables play an important role in the application lifecycle management (ALM) process. They enable seamless movement of applications across different Power Platform environments. When you create a virtual table, you can now associate the table with its own environment variable.
Select Use environment variables when you choose a connection for your data source during virtual table creation. This feature environment variable connects directly to the virtual table provider. It gives you the flexibility to change data sources when you import the virtual table into a new environment.
The environment variable for a virtual table holds references to a connection reference. When you import the solution into a target environment, you can change or edit the connection reference.
