How to prevent deactivated records to appear in the "recent" lookup

516 Views Asked by At

I'm working on a model-driven PowerApps app and I've come across this issue: I would like to prevent users from adding relationships to deactivated records. I have a many to many relationship in my example.

Here the deactivated record shows up in the "recent" view.

Deactivated record showing in lookup

Is there a way to either hide deactivated in the recent view or can I force the default view to be only active ones?

EDIT: Or is there a way to style the deactivated with a strike-through or something?

Unfortunately, we don't have lot of configuration/customization control around this setting. It's like "all or none" kinda setting, where we can use the "most recently used" aka MRU items as is or you can turn off, so users has to choose the records from views - in which we can apply filters to show only "Active" records.
