Hello,
I have many custom entities for that I need to change primary field, I already know creating workflow that will update values of primary field by coping it from different field. But I don't want to do that. Is there any way to change primary field of custom entity after it has been created?
Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
are you trying to change the name of the primary field (that would not be possible), or are you trying to change the value stored there?
If it's the value, you can use a workflow, you can use excel export/import, you can use SSIS.. what's wrong with the workflow?
Hi
You cannot change it after creating it. You can use other fields as keys.
Please refer the following as well:
blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/.../microsoft-dynamics-crm-changing-the-primary-field-in-custom-entities
After it has been created, the only changes you can make to the primary field metadata are to change the size, or change the requirement level
The primary field always remains the same. However you can mark other fields as alternate keys to keep uniqueness.
