Fix missing View button and type error in Environment Request apps

[Copilot]

The CoE Admin Environment Request App toolbar did not display the View button for pending requests, and both app versions threw type inference errors in edit mode.

Changes

Teams Version (CenterofExcellenceCoreComponentsTeams)

• Added conditional visibility to View button container: Visible: =!IsBlank(gal_ecrs.Selected)
• Removed unused var_selectedItem initialization causing type error

Non-Teams Version (CenterofExcellenceCoreComponents)

• Removed unused var_selectedItem initialization causing type error
• View button visibility was already correct via ItemEnabled: !IsBlank(dlEnvRequests.Selected)

Root Causes

Missing visibility logic: The View button container rendered unconditionally, preventing proper display when no request was selected.

Dead code: OnChange: =Set(var_selectedItem, Blank()) attempted to set a variable without type initialization. Variable was never referenced elsewhere.

# Before
cbx_view As combobox:
    OnChange: =Set(var_selectedItem, Blank())  # Type error: no prior initialization

# After  
cbx_view As combobox:
    # Removed unused assignment

Users can now select a pending request, see the View button appear, and navigate to approve/reject.
