For example, when we open any account form (assume Microsoft Corporation), is there any way to store data specific to user at CRM level using javascript and retrieve the same data from XRM sdk?

Don't know exactly what kind of data you are talking about here, but you can always create a custom entity, which every user will only have access if he/she is an owner. Now simply store the user specific information in that entity and retrieve objects of this entity using WebAPI

Yes. Setup a CRM entity/field for storing the data and then use the CRM SDK Web API Javascript to interact with it.

Hi Francesco,

It worked and solved my issue. Just want to know, whether we can create new property for object in below code(i added property test with some value):

var body = JSON.stringify({

"name": "Sample Account",

"creditonhold": false,

"address1_latitude": 47.639583,

"description": "This is the description of the sample account",

"revenue": 5000000,

"accountcategorycode": 1,

"test": true

});

When i tried like this, while reading data, it says unable to read "test" property. Does this support only some properties which are supported by CRM ?
