Dataverse Table creating multiple columns

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by maskwer 53

Hello,

 

by default it is possible to add one column, with all properties like type, format, etc.

 

Is there any possibility to add multiple columns, all with the same type (text for example) but with various names at once?

I need to create 200-300 columns, which will be time consuming if I'll do it by default solution.

 

Best regards

    inside XrmToolBox there is a tool called "Attributes Factory" where you can create columns starting from an excel file.

    Would be there any other solution? I wouldn't use any third party application for the system.

    you can try to import an excel spreadsheet and the system will create the missing columns for you, but I don't suggest to do that as the changes will not be inside a solution and it automatically decide the type (for example if it sees that a column has only number it will be an integer column but maybe you still want a string there)

    Otherwise you continue to do manually.
