How to create 1-N relationship from my custom entity to Address Entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Junbin Duan 35

Hello,

I noticed Account entity has a 1 to many relationship with Address Entity in Dynamics 365. Does anyone know if it is possible to reuse this Address entity? I mean I would like to create a 1-N relationship from my custom entity to this Address entity. 

Not quite sure this Address is a "real" entity, since I did not see a related table in database.

Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Goutam,

    Thank you for the information. However, creating relationships is not a problem. The problem is how to reuse the Address entity in my custom entity (1 to N), which seems not possible. I have to create my own address entity. If you have an idea for reusing the address entity, that would be very helpful.

    Thanks again,

    Junbin Duan

    It is always good to reuse the customer address entity to centralise the all the address in the crm application .You need to create some fields in your custom entity.don't go for new entity otherwise you can't manage.
