Cannot update a report from a template if the report was not created from a template error while trying to import solution in Dynamics 365

While trying to import a managed solution to our test environment we got the below error

“Cannot update a report from a template if the report was not created from a template”. We got this error on one specific report.

Removing that particular report from the solution and trying the import again fixed the issue for us.

SQL Timeout Issue while trying to Apply Solution Upgrade in Dynamics 365

Recently in our project we tried implementing solution upgrade to delete some of the components from the existing managed solution.

However, we kept running into SQL time out issue and it didn’t work for us. Finally we raised product support ticket for it and eventually the product support team increased the SQLCommandTimeout to 5 minutes, which helped us to fix the issue.

Crm Exception: Message: Customer lookup [CustomerId] is invalid. Customer lookups can only be associated with 1 Account and 1 Contact error while importing solution in CRM

While trying to import solution to our test environment from our dev environment we got the below error

“Crm Exception: Message: Customer lookup [CustomerId] is invalid. Customer lookups can only be associated with 1 Account and 1 Contact”

The way we got it fixed

Unzip the solution and open customizations.xml file
Remove all attributes with name “CustomerId” (Lead, Invoice, Opportunity entity)

Find all entity relationships with ReferencingAttributeName equals CustomerId and add to EntityRelationship new attribute: unmodified=”1″

Zip solution back and import it.

Legacy Form Rendering vs New Form Rendering (Turbo Forms) in Dynamics 365

Hi,

Recently we were analyzing performance improvement we’d gain while moving our solution from legacy form rendering to new form rendering.

For this we picked up the opportunity entity, which had good enough customizations (field, tab, sub grid, JavaScript etc.) in it.

Below is result we got using CRM Performance Center

OnChange event getting fired on SetValue in CRM 2016 Update 1 New Form Rendering

Today while doing the analysis of existing system in New Form Rendering, we realized that the SetValue function used on onChange of an attribute was in turn triggering the onChange event for that field.

We basically had an option set field whose value we were setting based on certain condition on onChange event of the same field. This was working fine in Legacy Form Rendering and also in vanilla instance of Dynamics 365.

Only in new form rendering we were getting this issue of infinite loop.
