How you find data entity from table

I’m now mapping D365FO table/field vs dataentity, while only data entity can be accessed from external service, such as MS Flow or Azure LogicApps.

I assume there is no specific method to find data entity from table name, and here comes the question.

For example, you know CustTable.CustomerAccount from D365FO personalize form.

However, when you looked into Visual Studio, table definition, there is no reference for data entity.

Therefore, I had to grep all objects with string “cust” or “Customer” and reached to “CustCustomer” data entity, by hunch.

Is there any logical method to reach to target data entity so that I can handle this mapping to others?

Thank you for your support in advance.

Regards, Mai

Hi Mai,

To find data entitis which refer to the current table, You can right click the current table in AOT, and select Find references, then all the elements referring this table will be listed.
You can find all the data entities start with "dynamics://DataEntityView/".
