Hi,

I am a complete novice in Dynamics 365 and hit a bump in my project.

What I want to do is create a business rule that sets the older row inactive if a new one with the same attribute is created.

I can not use duplicate detection because these rows have different information in them which may be important later

Best Regards

Tobias

RE: Businessrule if two entities have the same value, set the old one inactive

You cannot achieve this through Business Rules.

Below are the other options.

1) Power Automate Flow. (https://flow.microsoft.com/)

2) Custom Actions OR Custom Workflows (docs.microsoft.com/.../sample-create-custom-workflow-activity
