Dynamics 365 Data Templates - download only specific fields

Posted on by 71

Hi 

When you download a template for Data import is there anyway that you can download the fields for a specific form only.

I have downloaded the opportunity template and all available fields for a opportunity are downloaded.

We have several forms set up for different business areas and they all have some bespoke field.

It would be great if when you went to the download a data import template area it allowed you to not only select the entity you required but also the form you needed and then only those fields on that form would be downloaded to the template.

.Does anyone know how to only download the form fields i require  as i don't want to have to manually remove the not needed fields before i send to the user.

Any help 

Thanks

Vanessa

    Hi,

    Please note, to import new records (not updates) you can have design different templates. And the create Date Import Maps for each type.

    For example:

    • Retail Accounts - Excel:
      • Account Name
      • Revenue
      • Territory
    • Supplier Accounts - Excel:
      • Account Name
      • Credit Limit

    Now you can map both files against 2 data import maps and only map the filed based on file type.

    Hi Vanessa,

    Unfortunately, currently there is no function in the D365, so I would recommend you share this suggestion in the Ideas.
