PoC – speech to text notes in Dynamics 365
In case you did not notice that yet, Dynamics 365 9.0 ships features that will allow developers to achieve really powerful custom components, working across all D365-supported devices. Unified Interface – as its name suggests – works pretty much the same on all devices, which means that we are no longer sandboxed by some “metadata […]
Dynamics 365 Server-side validation
Defining required and optional fields are always an important part of every Dynamics 365 project that I have ever worked on. Have you ever thought properly about the server-side validation on that matter? From my experience, Dynamics CRM Customizers/Developers usually just create fields with proper value in “Field requirement” field. I hope that everyone […]

Pre-operation plugins and Post-Operation plugins are also run in transaction, so […]
Solution Component types in Dynamics 365
CRM 2016 brought one great improvement – possibility to choose what subcomponents we want to include in the solution. We can choose single fields, views or relationships for an entity.
