setting html title based on the entity form in the dynamics window

Has anyone tried to have the browser title (via the html title element) track the entity being "viewed" in a form?

Some simple javascript (almost a one liner) could do this but are there any downsides for changing the browser tab title?

    Just to be clear, I want to "shorten" the title that is placed there so its easier to read in a smaller tab. When you get more than a few tabs, having the "form name" + name + "Microsoft Dynamics 365" is a bit long.

    Hi,

    You can do it with javascript by using "document.title", however because of D365 page structure you need to reach top level (window.parent)

    Depend on your requirements you can call it on form onload event and add some variables, simple code below.

    I think this is not unsupported customization.

    function changeTitle() {
    var myEntityName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getEntityName();
    var myFormName = Xrm.Page.ui.formSelector.getCurrentItem().getLabel();

    window.parent.document.title = "my custom title";
    //also you can use myEntityName and myFormName variables
}
