While trying out few things in July 2017 update of Dynamics 365, we encountered a strange issue.

The members count field was properly in case of Static Marketing List, however, while converting the Dynamic Marketing List to Static (using Copy To Static), this field was not getting populated.

And also, the field was getting unlocked in case of Update Form for both Static and Dynamic Marketing list, unlike earlier version where this field was always locked on Form.

The field properly calculating count and locked in case of earlier versions.

Hope it helps..

With July 2017 Update in Dynamics 365, Advanced Find view now supports Does Not Contain Data filter for related record.

So basically, we can now write a query like “Find all the lead records which doesn’t contain any related task”. However, we cannot define any filter conditions for the related record though.

The other interesting thing that we observed that in the case of N – N relationships it throws exception.

For e.g. if we want to find all the contacts that are not associated to marketing list

We get the following exception à

Also,

The does not contain data filter isn’t available while defining marketing list members in marketing list.

Hope it helps..

We were getting the below error while creating an entity record through a C# Console Application.

This occurred because the code was trying to set string value to one of the decimal type field.

Parsing the string value to decimal and then setting it fixed it.

Hope it helps

With July 2017 update, we can now finally create multi-select option set in Dynamics 365.

We can also use Existing Global Option Set while defining our Multi Select Option set.

This is how control looks within the form.

Within Advanced Find View

We can use the existing option set client-side methods on Multi Select Option Set.
