Dataverse Column creation details

Hi.

I'm trying to determine who created a specific Column in a Table, and when it was done. We're using Dataverse (with a M365 subscription).

 

I found an old thread that asks something similar, about a Table instead of a Column.

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Dataverse/Dataverse-Table-Creation-Details/m-p/1274100#M14221

 

Do you think I could use the same tools suggested in the above thread? I've used XrmToolbox in the past, to do translations in a model-driven app, so I have a little bit of experience with that. I have never used FetchXml or FetchXml Builder though.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi   

    A possible way to find out who created a column in a Dataverse table is to query the creator of the views that are generated when creating a table. You can use FetchXml with the FetchXml Builder tool of the XrmToolBox to do this. Here is an example of the FetchXml code:

     

    You need to replace the with the actual code of the table you want to check. <entity type code>

     

    You must use the XRM ToolBox and the Fetch Builder tool.
    The table is savedquery

     

    <fetch top="50">
     <entity name="savedquery">
     <attribute name="createdby" />
     <filter>
     <condition attribute="returnedtypecode" operator="eq" value="entity type code" />
     </filter>
     <link-entity name="systemuser" from="systemuserid" to="createdby" alias="Propietario">
     <attribute name="fullname" />
     </link-entity>
     </entity>
    </fetch>
