Addresses Form Pattern

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Greg's Mom

I have a need to associate addresses with some custom entities and provide similar address functionality to what is available on Vendors, Customers, Operating Units, etc...

However, I have noticed that these forms all use a custom form pattern for the address tab.  When I follow the same approach, the functionality is great and I'm able to create multiple addresses for my entity.  However, I get a best practice warning stating that I should avoid custom form patterns:   

BPWarningFormDesignOrControlsWithCustomPattern: BP Rule: [BPWarningFormDesignOrControlsWithCustomPattern]:Path: [dynamics://Form/PCGOMOperatingUnit/FormDesign/FormDesign/FormTabControl/Tab/FormTabPageControl/AddressTab]:BPWarningFormDesignOrControlsWithCustomPattern: 'AddressTab' is using the 'Custom' pattern. Please apply one of the other available patterns.

Are there any good alternatives for creating an address tab and avoiding this best practice deviation?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Hi Brawndo,

    Custom patterns are used quite a lot; also by Microsoft. When creating a CAR report, you can specify a justification for this. It would also be possible to suppress the warnings: www.schweda.net/blog_d365.php

    Hi Greg,
    Can you please help me out how did you add the standard Addresses tab functionality which is available in All vendors and All Customers form. 
    I added a new Address tab with form part as mentioned in the below link, I am able to see the new address tab but unable to add new address. The Add button is not working and the grid is empty.

    I did not create any custom entity, can you please let me know the steps that you followed.
