RE: Fields of CRM Form

Hi Kashif, there is also a new tool in XRM toolbox that shows all the fields against % that have data, so you can easily identify the redundant fields and export the results to excel so your business can review and delete.

XRMToolbox> Attribute usage Inspector: Generates field attribute data usage Reports helps identify unused fields

Hope that helps?

RE: Fields of CRM Form

You can do that by:

Use a RetrieveEntityRequest to find all attributes

Iterate through the attributes to determine which are custom attributes

Use RetrieveMultiple to retrieve all systemform records for the entity (you may want to filter by type, as systemform includes dashboards), and parse the formxml data to identify which fields are on the form

Alternatively, you could use XrmToolbox to get all fields, and all fields on forms, and compare the two
