Unable to disable the Activities check box once Activities is enabled

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi Experts,

I have checked "Activities" for a custom entity in Communication and Collaboration section. Once the activities is enabled(checked) - unable to disable(uncheck). As per the requirement, I want to disable the Activities for one of the custom entity. Is it possible?

    Hi,

    it is not possible to change an entity from activity to a normal one because of the entity architecture of the Activities.

    Furthermore if you try to import an entity with the same schema name in an other environment and they have different types(activity or not). You will get an error like: "An object with this key already exists"

    Hi,

    I've tried in my own environment, this is not possible.

    I've created a custom entity without activities, after that exported the solution, enabled the activities and reimport the exported solution. The custom entities is not reflect.

    If I take the solution of this Entity from higher version where activities is disabled and import in lower version where activities is enabled - Is this issue will be resolved?

    Activity type entity and simple entity structure is different. so you can not change it to simple entity from activity. only the way to re create it.

    Hi,

    this is not possible. You only can delete the entity and recreate it.
