Fixed – 0x90000010 Can not retrieve view’s metadata (Dynamics 365)

We were recently getting the below error in one of the views in the Dashboard.

0x90000010 Can not retrieve view’s metadata

The issue occurred because we had converted that Dashboard from a personal to System / Public Dashboard using the below wonderful XrmToolbox Plugin, https://www.xrmtoolbox.com/plugins/Carfup.XTBPlugins.PersonalViewsMigration/, which converted it to System Dashboard successfully, however, this was one of the personal views inside that dashboard.

So we converted that personal view to the system view (using the same tool) and then updated the Dashboard to refer to the converted system view, which fixed the issue.

Hope it helps..

Set DefaultSelectedItems of Combobox on App OnStart – Custom Page -Power Apps (Dataverse)

Recently in one of our custom pages, we had to set the default value (DefaultSelectedItems) of the combo box based on one of the lookup fields on the record. We were opening the custom page from the ribbon button on the form.

Below is our function to pass the record’s GUID to the custom page from the button.


    openSearchCustomPage: function (primaryControl, firstPrimaryItemId) {
        var pageInputCustom = {
            pageType: 'custom',
            name: 'custom_searchproduct_570ed',
            entityName: 'lead',
            recordId: firstPrimaryItemId
        };

        var navigationOptions = {
            target: 2,
            position: 1,
            width: 1350
        };

        Xrm.Navigation.navigateTo(pageInputCustom, navigationOptions).then(
            function success(result) {
                console.log(result);
            },
            function error(error) {
                console.log(error);
            }
        );
    }

Next in App’s OnStart, we are setting the GUID of the record to a variable first, and than setting another variable to store the GUID of the Region lookup field on that record.

// text variable passed by the form / webresource/ ribbon
Set(varEnquiryIdWithoutCurlyBraces,GUID(Substitute(Substitute(Param("recordId"),"{",""),"}","")));

// get the Region Of Interest from the Lead / Enquiry ID
// If value present use it for prefiltering the Gallery Items
Set(varRegionOfInterest,LookUp(Enquiries,Lead=varEnquiryIdWithoutCurlyBraces, 'Region of Interest'));

And lastly, for the combo box (Items = Region (custom table)), we are setting the DefaultSelectedItems as follows

LookUp(Regions,Region=varRegionOfInterest.Region)

We also tried using the Filter option, but it was giving incorrect values.

The value on the form –

The value in the Custom Page –

Correct value populated for combo box Region, and incorrect for the one using Filter formula

Fixed – View Name as Blank in Dynamics 365 / Model-driven app

Recently we faced an issue where one of the views was not showing its Name in the app.

On selecting the View Selector, we were not getting the option to select that view.

Checking in a Vanilla CRM instance, we can see it is OOB My Activities view.

To fix it, we had to edit the App, Add Page >> Dataverse Table >> Select exiting table >> Activity

And add that view to that app and publish the changes.

The result –

Fix – Exception in creation of lead (Dynamics 365 Marketing)

We were getting this error in the submission of one of our outbound Marketing forms.

Activity id: e1ede147-efb6-457d-bc19-826c6176a2e4, Request id: jH7xRiEzGFTdZQTbE2fkh9_Z_WtjumCqJERuYZbGSL0_0, Exception: Entity ‘Contact’ With Id = 896b960d-c5d7-4c4d-95c7-a9e226afbf8e Does Not Exist

The form had only the Lead form matching defined and Only leads for Update contacts / leads.

So here because of some earlier multiple/different form submissions, a contact got created and stored in the browser’s cookie, which CRM was referring to, and trying to set a Parent Contact for the lead record even though we were having Only leads set for update contact/leads option.

This is the behavior of the product.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/marketing/marketing-forms#createupdate-leads-only

The solution is to delete the cookie or try in incognito or in-private mode or a different browser, and it would work.

This would probably arise because while setting up marketing forms we would do multiple submissions with test data for testing.

Hope it helps..

Fixed – Expected non-empty Guid while importing solution in Dynamics 365/ Dataverse

While trying to import the solution (patch), we were getting the below error.

“Expected non-empty Guid”

There was hardly any detail in the log file also

We tried removing the solution component one by one in our source environment and trying the import again in the target environment.

Eventually removing the Pages (custom page) allowed us to import the solution successfully into the target environment.

We then compared the customization.xml of the current solution with the backup solution of the Target and see the information missing in the current solution.

Left is – Current solution (giving error) and Right is the backup solution of the target.

Interestingly next time when we extracted the new patch after a couple of days, we could see the tag there and so no issues that time.

Hope it helps.
