Check Metadata of your Dynamics 365 instance in the browser | [Quick Tip]

September 25, 2022 priyeshwagh777 Dynamics 365 CE, dynamics 365 customization dataverse metadata, dynamics 365 crm developer resource, dynamics 365 crm metadata, dynamics 365 crm web api

If you are a newbie developer on Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Applications / CRM, and you’ve been told to check metadata to verify if your customizations are in place or not, here’s how you can check the metadata –

This approach is without use of any managed solution or browser extensions.

Get Service Root URL

Here’s how you can get the Service Root URL of your environment once you have the System Administrator or System Customizer role –

  1. Drop down from Settings and look for Customization.

  2. And in Customizations, you can look for Developer Resources.

  3. You’ll find the Service Root URL mentioned in the Developer Resources page.

  4. Copy that and paste it in the browser – [Make sure you are always logged into the environment]

  5. Now, add the $metadata keyword to get the complete metadata of the environment.

  6. And when you press Enter, you’ll see the complete metadata.
    In case you don’t have enough memory on the browser due to cache issues, you’ll see this.


    In this case, you can either clear cache or try another browser. This will take some time to load.
    And you’ll see the metadata as below – you can then use Ctrl + F (Find) on the browser to look for the resources you are looking for

Hope this was useful!

Reflecting Metadata changes in Flow for Dataverse connector

March 28, 2022 priyeshwagh777 Microsoft PowerApps dataverse metadata, dynamics crm metadata in flow, power automate metadata

If you’re building a Flow that uses Dataverse connectors, you might need to change the metadata and it doesn’t reflect in the Flow and the issue continues to occur even after publishing the changes.

Scenario

Let’s suppose you are using Add a row action to create a new record in Dataverse/Dynamics CRM –

  1. And when the Flow runs, the record is not created because you end up having this error where the length of the field enough to store the data.

  2. Now, in order to fix this –

  3. Now, even after I changes the above length – the error still occurs.

Issue

Let’s look at the issue –

  1. The issue is, at the time of creating the step, Flow stores the metadata with an ID and when you change the metadata in the backend, it is not reflected back on the Flow.

Workaround

Here’s what you need to do in order to fix this –

  1. You need to delete the step and re-do the step in your Flow

  2. And now, it will have the latest metadata with the new Metadata ID to it –

Hope this helps!
