XrmToolBox: AutoNumberUpdater - new StateCode filter

Mayank Pujara's AutoNumberUpdater plugin for the XrmToolBox is a great tool to add missing auto number values to an auto number field for an entity/table.

In his blog you can find more details about the original version of his plugin:
https://mayankp.wordpress.com/2021/12/09/xrmtoolbox-autonumberupdater-new-tool/

For my purposes I had to update accounts with missing account numbers, but in my use case this should only be done for those accounts that have the status value "Active".






 

As this plugin did not have this feature I quickly implemented it and Mayank merged my changes to his plugin source code. You can download the new version 1.2024.0.1 in the Tool Library of the XrmToolBox.

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls.

Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete...

CRM 2013: Translation import error: The value passed for ConditionOperator.In is empty

This week a very evil error drove me nuts. In CRM 2013 I tried to import a translation file into an organization. It always ended up with this error message: The value passed for ConditionOperator.In is empty I was like what in the world does this message mean. If an old school approach in splitting up the file into serveral smaller Import files I finally figured out that the following lines in the "Localized Labels" sheet caused this trouble: RibbonCustomization 11a15acc-61f1-e311-93f9-00505681252e Mscrm.Isv.orb_input.HomepageGrid.Group0.Control0.LocLabel RibbonCustomization 11a15acc-61f1-e311-93f9-00505681252e Mscrm.Isv.orb_input.HomepageGrid.Group0.Control0.ToolTip.LocLabel RibbonCustomization 11a15acc-61f1-e311-93f9-00505681252e Mscrm.Isv.orb_input.SubGrid.Group0.Control0.LocLabel RibbonCustomization 11a15acc-61f1-e311-93f9-00505681252e Mscrm.Isv.orb_input.SubGrid.Group0.Control0.ToolTip.LocLabel To resolve t...
