How to make primary name field a concatenation of other fields

Posted on by 45

Hello everyone

I have created a new entity named 'Project'. The primary name field of this entity needs to be the concatenation of 3 required fields. The 3 fields can be updated, so when the record gets updated, the primary name field should also.

How can I accomplish this? I have already made my entity, and during my entity's creation, I was unable to make the primary field a calculated field.

We are not allowed to use Business rules. Maybe a workflow that triggers on create and update of those fields? But how would I go about that?

I'm fairly new to Dynamics. Any help is much appreciated. 


Thanks in advance

Junius

    Hello Junius,

    There are multiple ways of achieving your requirement.

    You can use JavaScript/Plugin/Workflow/Power Automate Flow.

    Everything depends on your requirements.

    If you want to see changes immediately you will have to go with JavaScript.

    If you want to implement it easier - then go with Workflow, don't forget to mark the Name field as not required to allow save operation with no field populated.
