Fix v4.31 upgrade failure: Add missing Abandoned PowerApps SavedQuery to Core Components

[Copilot]

Problem

Upgrades from v4.31 to any later version fail with SavedQuery(f9d327af-b6b4-e911-a85b-000d3a372932) cannot be deleted because it is referenced by 1 other component. The "Abandoned PowerApps" view exists only in CoreComponentsTeams, but Power Platform Admin View app references it during Core Components upgrade, creating an unresolvable dependency.

Changes

Core Fix

• Added CenterofExcellenceCoreComponents/SolutionPackage/src/Entities/admin_App/SavedQueries/{f9d327af-b6b4-e911-a85b-000d3a372932}.xml
  • Filters apps where cr5d5_appisorphaned = yes (owner account no longer exists)
  • Matches existing "Abandoned Flows" view pattern
  • Dependent field already exists in Core Components

Documentation

• Updated TROUBLESHOOTING-UPGRADES.md with v4.31 resolution steps
• Added docs/ISSUE-ANALYSIS-UPGRADE-V431-SAVEDQUERY.md with root cause analysis
• Added SOLUTION-SUMMARY-V431-UPGRADE-FIX.md with testing plan

Technical Details

SavedQuery structure:

<savedquery>
  <savedqueryid>{f9d327af-b6b4-e911-a85b-000d3a372932}</savedqueryid>
  <fetchxml>
    <entity name="admin_app">
      <attribute name="admin_displayname" />
      <filter type="and">
        <condition attribute="cr5d5_appisorphaned" operator="eq" value="yes" />
      </filter>
    </entity>
  </fetchxml>
  <LocalizedNames>
    <LocalizedName description="Abandoned PowerApps" languagecode="1033" />
  </LocalizedNames>
</savedquery>

Including the view in Core Components eliminates the dependency conflict during solution upgrade while providing legitimate governance capability for identifying orphaned apps.

<issue_title>[CoE Starter Kit - BUG] Solution "Center of Excellence - Core Components" failed to import: ImportAsHolding failed with exception :The SavedQuery</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Does this bug already exist in our backlog?

• I have checked and confirm this is a new bug.

Describe the issue

Trying to update the COE Toolkit from June 2024 v4.31 to Jan 2026 v4.50.8, I'm getting this error: Solution "Center of Excellence - Core Components" failed to import: ImportAsHolding failed with exception :The SavedQuery(f9d327af-b6b4-e911-a85b-000d3a372932) component cannot be deleted because it is referenced by 1 other component.

I already tried to update to older version to see if this was fixed with no luck, also found that the July 2024 version didn't have a package for core components, so I tried the next one, which was August 2024, with exactly the same error.

This SavedQuery(view) is the Abandoned PowerApps view which is used by the Power PLatform Admin View MDA:

Expected Behavior

To be able to update the core components solutions to the January 2026 version 4.50.8

What solution are you experiencing the issue with?

Core

What solution version are you using?

4.31

What app or flow are you having the issue with?

Power Platform Admin View

What method are you using to get inventory and telemetry?

Cloud flows

Steps To Reproduce

1. Download the latest package for the COE Tool Kit.
2. Unzip
3. Import the core components solution

Anything else?

I tried to update to the version of the Toolkit as follows

1. Jan 2026
2. As pointed out in this other bug [CoE Starter Kit - BUG] Solution "Center of Excellence - Core Components" failed to import: ImportAsHolding failed with exception :The SavedQuery #10158, where you mentioned that the issue was solved in the Sept 2025 version, but it is throwing the same error
3. Jun 2025
4. Feb 2025
5. August 2024

All of them are getting the same error.</issue_description>

<agent_instructions>Upgrade from CoE Core v4.31 to later versions fails with: SavedQuery (f9d327af-b6b4-e911-a85b-000d3a372932) cannot be deleted because it is referenced by another component.
The blocked item is the Abandoned PowerApps view, referenced by the Power Platform Admin View app. All intermediate versions (2024–2026) fail with the same dependency.
Please confirm if this is a packaging issue and provide a workaround to allow upgrading from v4.31.</agent_instructions>
