Greetings,
What's the difference between custom and managed columns? Someone else has also asked this.
I tried searching the documentation for the word "managed", but the word "manage" is returned. It doesn't look like you are allowed to search the docs using the word "managed".
Thanks,
Shane.
Hi @CShaneGoodman,
A standard column is a column that comes out-of-the-box with Dataverse. A managed column is a column that comes from another 1st (e.g. Dynamics 365) or 3rd party apps (e.g. Click Dimensions) that is controlled by its managed solution. Note: a standard column is also a managed one.
A custom column aka "unmanaged column" is a column that was created in the current environment or a column what was created by importing a unmanaged solution.
More info on managed columns and properties: https://docs.microsoft.com/power-platform/alm/managed-properties-alm
Hope this helps!
