Posted on by luke22

Hello all,

I am new to Dynamics 365 development, and I am trying to create a plugin which will automatically create custom fields after the plugin has been installed.

Any assistance or example of code will be greatly appreciated. I've been trying for days without any luck!

Hi thanks for your reply,

Basically, when on a lead record I would like there to be a new section under the summary tab which has several new custom fields which have been generated by the plugin.

For example:

This should be created at the point of the plugin installation and will be eventually be populated with data via the plugin, therefore the fields should be read only (if possible).

Hi Luke22

May I ask what is your use case for creating the custom fields via a plugin? If attribute creation is a one time activity, they can very well be created outside of a plugin code.

You can create a Solution which has the plugin + entity with these new attributes. Import this solution in target instance to deploy fields as well as the plugin.

If you can share more information about your use case, it will help.

Thanks !
