what does this field means "Allow Create If Null" in entity form

Posted on by 267

when we select "Record Associated to Current Portal User" for Record Source Type in entity form it shows optional field "Allow Create If Null" .

what i know it means if i am logged in user and i am retrieving ABC entity on my web page then if ABC entity does not have my associated record then "Allow Create If Null" will create record if it is true else it will throw an exception..  

is it so ?

    It is not mentioned in the official documentation but it does mentioned it in the field description i.e. yes, it will create the record. I haven't tried this though , so you can select it and see if it really do what it says :)

    There are multiple settings/fields which are present but doesn't work in Dynamics 365 Portals.

    Hope it helps.
