FetchXML improve for us to achieve more
I got a challenge from my colleague at CRMK: I need to set owners on accounts with a team with the same name as the account. Mia @ CRMK Is that even possible??Yes, it actually is. Simplest query I start with a very simple query to get all Accounts: <fetch> <entity name='account'> <attribute name='name' /> <attribute name='ownerid' /> </entity> </fetch> New…...
Follow Microsoft to trigger plugins by Bulk Operations
Microsoft has recently urged us to move all our plugin steps from messages: Create, Update, Delete to instead use: CreateMultiple, UpdateMultiple, and DeleteMultiple. I like that.I like that a lot You may have read about it and just said, “OK, thanks, but that’s not relevant to us; see you never.” You’re wrong.I will help you understand why you actually need it, and I’ll try to… Continue Reading...

ALM a la Rapp – Evolve Power Platform delivery
What is ALM? As always, it’s an acronym. ALM means Application Lifecycle Management and many texts about ALM are available; white papers, articles, blogs, how-tos… But in my subjective it means: Keep track of everything we need.Don’t track things we can generate.Generate everything automagically. /Mr. Rapp What is ALM for the general population in the Power Platform area? You… Continue Reading Jonas...
FXB + EBG + code = ❤??

Microsoft Power Fx + XRM Tokens
Why mixing two very different but very similar features?I hope you will see it, if you read on… What’s a Token? I don’t really know why… but it’s a word, a special word, representing other words… where the word is a data word, will be replaced with words from the actual data, as it is actually used. I think. Ok, I started this post in the wrong way, since I can hardly explain it…. Continue...
Layouts in FetchXML Builder
This is a new feature. A brand new fancy feature. This tool is now going from two dimensions to three dimensions. As always, we can work with the query and see the data.

A few requests for Environment Variables
It’s a small thing, a very fringe feature, and these improved features requests are only for me… or… crucial for everyone…? The Environment Variables feature became officially released a year ago, probably when I was “off the grid” last year. I sort of missed that… but it’s here now anyway. It’s like system settings, and is now supported by the core Power Platform. We don’t...

Archaeology – Finding CRM SDK History
When I have just created a new feature in my tools – I get a few error reports. Every time.Why is that? Mostly because users have an older version of Dataverse (or XRM/CRM).This is why I add updates, fixing one problem after another. Finding them the hard way. I tried a few times – no, many times – to look for the information I need: Dataverse Metadata Properties History I use… Continue Reading Jonas...
