Hi,
I have created a N:N relationship between the agreements and the funcional locations as I need it to connect the data properly. Now I would like to show attributes of the functional location entity in the view of the agreements. Is this possible and how?
Thanks for your anwsers!
Hi Yannick,
Nested Editable Grid can only display its child entity records, that is, the intersecting entity.
Let me take entities A and C as an example.
Entitiy A and C should have a N:N relationship, and I want show fields of Entity C on the view of Entity A.
So I created an Entity B, its relationship with Entity A is N:1, and its relationship with Entity C is N:1. (This way A and C are in N:N relationship)
Then, there are two lookup fields on the Entity B form, and they correspond to Entity A and Entity B respectively.
Add fields c1, c2 ,c3 of Entity C as columns on the view of Entity B.
Enable Nested Editable Grid for Entity A.
Finallly we can see fields of Entity C on the view of Entity A.
Hi Yannick,
We will use the Nested Editable Grid to display the view of the intersecting entity on the agreements view, and then display the funcional locations columns on the intersecting entity view.
In this way, we can display the funcional locations columns on the agreements view.

Hi Hao
Please have a look at the image below. There is already a connection to the functional location entity (1:n) but not filled with data as it is connected to the n:n relation which is not possible to show in the view (or i don't know how),
Hi Hao,
Thanks for your feedback. I see one difficulty here in the link you have provided. The entity "agreement" has a connection to the "agreementbookingsetup" and "agreementinvoicesetup". So if I have an agreement X that is connected to the functional locations A, B and C I would have to make 3 times an entry for agreement X with the corresponding booking and invoice setups that are completely identical and connect them to either location A, B or C. If something changes in this agreement I would have to update each agreement on its own. Might there be another way to show this connection?
Hi Mike
Thanks for your feedback. I made (or basically Dynamics 365 automatically made) a intersect entity after making a N to N relation. Regarding the subgrid it is possible to show this entity but I am more interested if it is possible to do it in the table view (see picture) as well.
Hi Yannick,
To achieve this requirement, you have to manually create a custom entity as the intersecting entity of the N:N relationship.
Using the default N:N relationship cannot achieve this requirement, because the intersecting entity of the default N:N relationship is internal, and its fields cannot be displayed in the user interface.
Please refer to https://carldesouza.com/understanding-intersect-entities-and-nn-relationships-in-dynamics-365/
What kind of N to N is it? Did you make an intersect entity or no?
You should be able to add the 'parent' columns to the view in your subgrid, have you tried doing that?
IF Im way off send some screenshots and I can provide more information.
