I can edit and save the workflow activity group name for a workflow in plugin registration tool / xrm toolbox.

A big but there's no change from UI and I have published all customizations after editing the name.

Any ideas will be much appreciated!!

    Hi Aria123,

    XrmToolKit provides many integrated tools in Visual Studio, including plugin registration : https://xrmtoolkit.com/

    Please note that this is a paid solution.

    Hi Andrew,

    Good to know it's a Microsoft issue. Hope it could be fixed ASAP because it's really annoying.

    Hello,

    This is well-known issue of v9.0. I hope Microsoft will fix it.

    Now it gets worked in CRM V8+ but not in V9 instance. I am getting more confused.

    So you merged the assembly using IL Merge and then its not showing the group name? I havent tried IL Merge but believes that once the assembly is registered, you can change the group name  in PLT and it will work.

    Hi Ravi,

    Thanks your quick reply.

    The whole story is I register a new workflow A and I change the workflow activity group name of A to like "Data Functions" from plugin registration tool/xrm toolbox.

    A is finally merged to like workflowIL assembly which is registered in sandbox.

    Then I create an UI workflow B and want to add A as a step.

    When I add step, however, there is no sub menu called "Data functions" and always the sub menu name is the same with registered assembly name.

    Does my explanation make sense to you?

    Thanks

    Randy

    Hi Randy,

    I changed the group name on my online instance in plugin registration tool and it works as expected. Could you please share screenshot of of the properties and the workflow editor where it is not changed?

    Hope this helps.
