PrimaryEntityTypeCode not deprecated in D365?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

    According to this article, Microsoft is saying that for Ribbon parameters the PrimaryEntityTypeCode parameter is deprecated in Dynamics 365 and that we should use PrimaryEntityTypeName instead.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn281891.aspx#bkmk_RibbonEntityTypeCodes

I have a Dynamics 365 Online environment as a development organization, with a custom button that calls the stock Mscrm.GridCommandActions.addNewFromSubGridStandard javascript call (which is supposed to now take PrimaryEntityTypeName as a parameter in D365). However, it still seems to take PrimaryEntityTypeCode as a parameter! Isn't it supposed to take PrimaryEntityTypeName in D365, since MS is saying PrimaryEntityTypeCode is deprecated? 

How am I supposed to update my custom button command to use PrimaryEntityTypeName if MS didn't update the javascript in D365? Am I misunderstanding something?

Any comments/suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

    +1 to Nadeeja.

    I also confirm that Deprecated means it will be removed in future version or upgrades of CRM.

    Hi John,

    When a feature is deprecated, it's marked to get deleted in a future release.  But feature still works and supported.  Sometimes, deprecated features last for years.
