How to Add Fields to a Dataverse Table in One Solution Without Affecting Other Solutions?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello experts,

I am currently working with Power Platform and have encountered an issue regarding Dataverse tables and solutions. Here is the situation:

  1. I have a shared solution (SharedSolution) that contains the original Account table with its default fields.
  2. I have another solution (Solution A) where I need to add a new field (CustomFieldA) to the Account table.
  3. There is also a Solution B that uses the same Account table but does not require the new field added in Solution A.

The problem is that when I add the new field (CustomFieldA) to the Account table in Solution A, this change affects the Account table in both SharedSolution and Solution B. This is not the desired outcome, as I want the new field to be specific to Solution A only.

Is there a way to add fields to a Dataverse table in one solution without affecting other solutions that use the same table? Any guidance or best practices to handle this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

    When you added Account, did you just select "add all" or did you select the things you want, which could be a single column, or piece of metadata. 
     
    Once you update it locally it has the new stuff, if you dont want the new stuff, don't include that column(s) in your "add existing table" selection
