Storing HTML content in Multiple Lines of Text field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

Hello,

We are using CRM On-Premise v8.2 

We have a requirement to store Rich-Text (via CKEditor) content in a custom entity. 

The data is currently stored as plain HTML - e.g. <html><head>...</head><body>...</body></html> inside a Multiple Lines of Text field.

While this works for small contents, once the content gets too large (We stored almost 1 million HTML characters for testing purposes, but content can be as large as needs be) the record containing this data takes too much time to load.

How can we solve this problem?

Thank you.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,

    Thank you for your query.

    Try adding it another Tab (for example (Notes) and collapse it by default.

    This way, it will not be rendered when the form is loaded (or record is opened).

    Once user expand the tab, it will load.

    This should minimize the load time, also it is the best practice for sub-grids also (with large dataset).

    Hi,

    It is recommended to integrate the Dynamics with the SharePoint and store the HTML into SharePoint as a file.

    Here is the documentation about the integration which you can refer to.

    Set up customer engagement apps to use SharePoint Online - Power Platform | Microsoft Docs

     

    If this helped you, I'd appreciate it if you'd mark this as a Verified Answer, which may in turn help others as well.

    Best Regards,
