How to find the form that contains a specific Column of a table (entity)

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I just started my journey on Dynamics and learning, currently my organization has gone under a big transformation project and released a custom build app, there is a work flow that assigns a web role to a contact if a field on the contact entity is filed with a certain value,

the flow is:  If "pager"  field contains " External Administrator" 

                        if contact: Pager equals [External administrator]. then:

Assign web role of " external administror" to contact.

up to here, the flow is simple and clear, the complexity was to find the column " pager" which was on the "contact" entity but resided out side of the solution where everything else is on, then the " contact" table forms which has so many different ones on there all custom built, none of them has that pager field visible or hidden.

when I check on the flow properties it shows the pager field under the additional fields heading, but this is no where to be found on the forms either. 

Does anyone have suggestions on how can I reverse finding the " pager" field in the work flow? Is there any tools that could run to find the forms that contains specifically named fields?

Happy to share a screen on private if you can help me untangle this issue.

    Hi Wahaj, Thank you for sharing the article. I learnt something new from it but it didn't actually allow me to locate the Form that has this field of the contact table,

    When I showed dependencies for the field, it only showed the work flow, that I am trying to work out. but it didn't list the form that field should appear on.

    Is it possible that this field is not meant to appear on any form by design?
