Hide Dynamics 365 GUID at the end of the folders name in sharepoint online

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ErikLm 55

I am currently working on how to hide the GUID from the folder name in Sharepoint online. When I create a new account/customer in Dynamics 365 and the account is saved in Sharepoint online the folder will have a name like (Accountname_GUIDname), but i don't want the GUID to be displayed. I know Dynamics 365 need it to find the place to store the documents. I have found ways to hide it but only up to crm 2015 not 365.

Is there a way to hide it from the folder name?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi

    I believe that, Microsoft has added this as a feature to avoid Duplicate Records (Example: Account entity with two records with the same name) pointing to the same SharePoint folder.

    Is there any particular reason, you want to remove the GUID?

    Hi,

    The reason is that it does not look good in sharepoint and there is a maximum limit on how long a string can be, so if there would be many subfolders or long names of documents. I think it's better to just see the customer's name than to see the name and GUID. It just takes unnecessary space.

    Hi

    It looks like , the attribute CreateSPFoldersUsingNameandGuid is not available in Organization entity, in Dynamics 365.
