Hello, I would have to automatically copy the contents of some fields of one entity to another on the last day of each month.
This would allow us to determine how these fields have changed over time.
Does anyone have a tip on how to automate this?

What I need is a function that copies certain records from one entity to another on the last day of each month.

Example:

Initial entity "Projects"

Fields: Project name, project status, project key Figure;

Goal Entity "Project log" Project name, project status, project key figure, date

And always automatically on the last day of each month.

There us no inside-CRM feature that I would recommend for this, because nothing is reliable enough. You should create custom app that does this logic and schedule it to run on the last day of the month. There are plenty of possibilities here - it can be simply a console app on your server or on Azure or maybe a Logic App in Azure etc.

Hi,

you could also plan a schedule task which runs every month and check your conditions to clone your records by calling a custom action.

You can achieve it in a couple of ways

1. Create a recursive workflow to create records with existing values whcih can trigger every month last day

Ref 1: alexanderdevelopment.net/.../scheduling-recurring-dynamics-crm-workflows-with-fetchxml

Ref 2: As Mr.manoj Suggested community.dynamics.com/.../create-recursive-or-scheduled-workflows-in-crm

2. Create a console application and schedule it to run every day of the month.
