How to fire a dynamics C# plugin on specific field value?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

How can I enable a dynamics c# plugin when a specific value is chosen from an options set?

For example: I have an option set that contains the values red, blue, and green. I want the plugin to start working when the user chooses blue and do nothing otherwise.

    plugin will be always triggered if you set it when the field is updated.

    inside the plugin code you will write the code to only execute the relevant part is a specific option is selected.

    No other way

    Hello Dennis,

    You cannot do this for a specific value. You can use the filter for that optionset field and use pre-image to get the previous value. You have to maintain the specific value logic in your code.

    I think you can achieve specific value triggers by Power automate.

    Hi dennis8796, I hope you are doing good.

    Hello,

    You can use the Custom Workflow Activity (Workflow + Plugin). That means you can create a plugin and u can use that plugin with the workflow.

    and as per your requirement you can add "on change event for that field". After that add a condition on workflow where you can run the plugin if option set value is Blue.

    for reference you can refer this link www.c-sharpcorner.com/.../

    Thank you,
