Cannot Create a new option set field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi All,

Having a strange issue here. We have a on-premise deployment of MS CRM 2016 which has been quite heavily modified using out of the box customisation. 

The issue is i have created a new entity and have been adding fields, approx up to 80 however when i go to create a new option set, i receive a SQL error with the not so help message of 'An error occurred'. The log file is equally uninformative. 

For the option set values i have used global options sets and manually added the values but the creation does not work when using either. 

I must point out that i am still able to create other fields. 

I have checked the sql server and the windows event viewer but nothing out of the ordinary, everything seems to be fine. 

Is there some sort of limit which is in place to restrict the number of times a global option set is being used or a limit to the number of times option set fields can be used?

Any information would be really helpful especially if it means i can avoid logging a case with MS!

Kindest regards.

    Hi Moons

    There is no limit to option sets, you will need to raise it I am afraid
