The product has been renamed at least twice since we talked last time about how to restrict the date picker control in now Power Pages. But most importantly that code, according to some reports, no longer works. Fear not, here’s the revised version that works perfectly well in Power Pages (it did 5 minutes ago, […]
I usually don’t drool over code but this one is just way too elegant for me not to. StackEdit – In-browser Markdown editor is an awesome app for markdown editing. One of the standout features is ability to comment and review – something sorely missing from the standard markdown. StackEdit very cleverly serializes reviews and […]

So you have moved to unified interface, but you want to be able to see the process and workflow history for a record. Microsoft has not […]
The advantage of having access to friendly brainpower is that the problems are getting resolved much quicker. The disadvantage is that it breeds inattentive coding. Daryl “Always Raising” LaBar almost threw in a towel but recovered and redeemed himself with the snippet how to add an arbitrary email address to the list of the email recipients […]
Dynamics 365/CRM customizations inflicted by a customer are always fun. How can I tell their customizations apart? Easy, by the new_ prefix. Where things get really complicated if the customer later asks you to do something they are not sure how to. Just recently I was asked to stop couple fields from being locked if […]

Users had reported that when using the multi-edit form to update multiple cases, the form would freeze when they […]
We are all mortals, after all. I just witnessed a rare occassion when even Tanguy “The XRM Toolbox” Touzard needed a helping hand from none other than Andrii “Khohol” Butenko. Tanguy I’m working on a really simple integration where an external app needs to open a webresource with parameters passed in data url argument: https://qwerty.crm4.dynamics.com/WebResources/foo_/cti/index.html?data=phonenumber%3d0123456789%26service%3dadv […]
This one is for javascript lovers. If you work with HTML web resources, you know that you need to include ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx to get CRM context in your script. If everything is working correctly but you receive JS error “GetClientContext is not defined” when using back button in Chrome browser, add dummy query parameter to the […]
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Gayan “Not Daddy” Perera. As often the case with Gayan’s tips, this one is a nugget. Moving the stage of a cross entity business process flow programmatically can be achieved by using the NavigateToNextEntity request. Most of the parameters are self explanatory, the only tricky one is […]
Quite often developers complain about getting javascript errors when the form does not contain any scripts or events. Explicit script definitions are not the only source of the possible errors: Business Rules are deployed on the client as generated javascript.
