Posted on by Community Member

Hi,
I am using SDK.Metadata.RetrieveAllEntities in my JavaScript when on load of an entity form to retrive the metadata for all the entities in my org. I want to have the sum of the size of attributes of the entity.

For example, the CRM attribute of type "Option Set" is stored as "Int" SQL server datatype and the size of the size of this datatype is 4 bytes. I want the sum of the size of the datatype of attributes of the entity in JavaScript for CRM Online org.
Is there any way to achieve this?

You could get this information from entity metadata and can setup predefined values for every datatype and calculate based on those values, but calculating this for all entity using java script could be long process, better to switch to custom report or some server side process.

Thanks

As datatype and number of attributes not going to change until user adds new attribute to the entity. So how about keeping separate entity and adding the size whenever new attribute gets added to the entity using plugin/manually and showing this record in the form using quick view form. As size of entity not going to change record by record and it's same across all the records for that entity.
