change default options with creating a new table column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by EricArcher33 20
When I create a new table column, under advanced options the "Enable Auditing" option is always checked, and I am manually turning it off most of the time.  Also, the "Sortable" option is never checked, and I am turning it on more often than not.  
 
Is it possible to change the defaults? If so... HOW?!

    You can use the Dataverse PowerShell module or the Dataverse Web API to automate the creation 
    User Dataverse SDK with powershell script.
    Connect-CrmOnline -ConnectionString "AuthType=OAuth;Url=https://yourorg.crm.dynamics.com;ClientId=xxxx;ClientSecret=xxxx"
    $entityName = "your_table_name"
    $columnName = "your_column_name"
    New-CrmAttribute -EntityLogicalName $entityName -SchemaName $columnName `
        -AttributeTypeCode Decimal `
        -MaxLength 100 `
        -AuditingEnabled $false `
        -Sortable $true
     
    Create a template solution with commonly used column configurations

    Thanks SaiRT14  for the quick response and detailed explanation.
     
    That makes sense as a solution, but is a little beyond my current understanding and ability to execute as I am still learning about all of this.  I don't even know how to access either of those options yet! For now I will just proceed with the couple of extra clicks per column, but this will be something that I dig into in the near future.
     
    Good to know there is a way to do it though, thanks again!
