I have a custom entity say by name "Messages". I want to limit the number of records in "Messages" entity to be set to 500.

Is this possible ?

    Hi Basavaraj,

    I would recommend you simply write a sync plugin on creation of this entity record as pre-create plugin.

    Inside the plugin you will check how many records there are already for your custom entity, if the count reached your limit you throw an InvalidPluginExecutionException to advise the user about the limit and stop the creation of the record.

    fairly simple job!

    Hi,

    You can do that using custom code only, so write a plugin and check for existing record count if it's already 500 throw error

    You can get reference of writing plugin from Dynamics CRM SDK.
