Can't figure out formxml in customisations.xml

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 40

Hi,

I wrote a small tool that lists all the fields on a form, been running good up until now.

I construct the solution on the fly, then export it and parse the form xml's.

However lately I have some occurences where the fields (normal/header/footer) do not have a control tag.

The control tag should tell which field this is. How does D365 know what field to display then?

This is what is shown in the designer :

This is what is exported in the solution

Any thoughts?

Regards,

    Hi,

    The 'control' tag used to be present all the time, so that's not the problem.

    How does D365 know which field is linked to a certain cell without that 'control' tag.

    It's a mystery for me :-(

    Hello, this could be because a control is customized in the "Policy Holder" field.

    Thanks!
