Hi All,

Now am trying to customize custom workflow for D365 Customer form master. I am using Extension concept for developing this workflow.

When am trying to enable Customer Extension form Design node workflow properties, properties are grayed out. I am not able to edit those properties.

Find the below screen shot for reference.,

    Please keep an eye on the roadmap website. This feature is not there but is in the backlog to be added as an extension feature. Since this is a framework feature I would expect this to be released in a platform update once it's available.

    Hi Karthik,

    We can actually achieve this workflow feature using extensions. 

    Yes, you can't directly change the design properties in form extension but we have a work around for this.

    Simply get OnInitialized event of primary data source for your form and then get the design node and change its properties. Code is given below.

    [FormDataSourceEventHandler(formDataSourceStr(MyForm, PrimaryDataSourceOfForm), FormDataSourceEventType::Initialized)]
    public static void MyForm_OnInitialized(FormDataSource sender, FormDataSourceEventArgs e)
    {
        sender.formRun().design().workflowDatasource(Name);
        sender.formRun().design().workflowEnabled(true);
        sender.formRun().design().workflowType("type");
    }
