    Hi Rahul,

    The solutions are not backward compatible, so unfortunately you can't downgrade a solution from 2013 to 2011. This is because new features are added to CRM with each version and the solution file contain new components that aren't expected.

    There may be a workaround, but you should be careful and backup your organization in case anything goes sideways.

    • Limit your solution to only things that were available in 2011.
    • Export your solution and get the zip file
    • In root of the zip file, edit "solution.xml"
    • In the first line you'll see something like 
      • <ImportExportXml version="8.0.0000.1094" SolutionPackageVersion="8.0" 
      • version is the CRM version you exported the solution from, and SolutionPackageVersion has the minimum version
    • Export a solution from your 2011 org and get those values.
    • Copy those values into your 2013 solution.
    • Replace the solution.xml file in the sip with your modified file
    • Import the solution

    I can't guarantee this is going to work, but it's going to be your best shot.

    Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as Answering your question.

    Thanks,

      Aiden

     <IsValidForAdvancedFind>1</IsValidForAdvancedFind>

    <CanModifyMobileClientReadOnly>1</CanModifyMobileClientReadOnly>

    <CanModifyMobileClientVisibility>1</CanModifyMobileClientVisibility>

    <EntityRelationship Name="vm_prompt_SocialActivities">

    <FormActivationState>1</FormActivationState>

    <FormPresentation>0</FormPresentation>

    <IntroducedVersion>1.0</IntroducedVersion>

    <IntroducedVersion>5.5.0.0</IntroducedVersion>

    <IsQuickCreateEnabled>0</IsQuickCreateEnabled>
