Populate mandatory controls using D365FO Ninja DevTools

One of the principles I always follow is: Whatever tasks you do repeatedly, you should find a way to automate it.

When creating forms in Dynamics 365 for Operations I found creating mandatory controls to comply to the selected design pattern is just boring and time consuming. I tried to find a quick way to populate them programmatically.

Fortunately, finding the way was easier than I thought. I just used development tools extension framework.

Now, with the extension I made, I just have to specify the design pattern, right click on my form then Add-ins > Populate form controls. Boom! I have all mandatory controls populated. You can't imagine how much time this extension is saving me! If you like it, give it a like on LinkedIn or comment below. 

Step1: Select a design pattern

Step2: Populate the controls

Hope this helps!
