Tool (XRM Toolbox or other) to create fields in bulk

Posted on by William Bradley 175

Hi, has anyone used a tool to create fields in bulk?  I believe there used to be an Bulk Attribute Editor in XRM that could do this in the past, but does not seem to do so now.  Any ideas (other then creating with the Import Wizard) on tools I could use?  Thanks.

    I used to use a tool in the XRM tool box - but not for long. Text fields were created with a lenght of 100 chars. Boolean fields were created as optionsets. Currency was created as decimal fields.

    Maybe you can use this - but you have to have fields to clone from first. github.com/.../XrmToolBox.CloneFieldDefinitions

    As you are using CRM Online, field creation has been significantly improved using the PowerPlatform.

    Navigate to https://web.powerapps.com, go to solutions and select your solution.

    Select the entity that you want to add fields to, and in the field tabs start entering your fields one by one.

    Your fields will not be saved until you click Save Entity.

    This is much quicker than the classic interface, and you should get used to it, as Microsoft is moving customization to PowerApps.

    Hope this helps.
