    When trying to add a new button to the Task form, I cannot get around a "Ribbon XML Validation Error". I've stripped the RibbonXMLDiff down to its most simple form (even stripping out any CommandDefinitions) and it still throws the error. Can anyone see what the problem is here? I've done similar adds to, say, the Email form and it works fine.

     <RibbonDiffXml>
          <CustomActions>
              <CustomAction Id="MVD.task.form.CompleteAndNew.CustomAction"
                  Location="Mscrm.Form.task.MainTab.Save._children"
                  Sequence="11">
                  <CommandUIDefinition>
                      <Button Id="MVD.task.form.CompleteAndNew.Button"
                              LabelText="Complete and New"
                              ToolTipTitle="Complete and New"
                              ToolTipDescription="Mark as complete, save, and create new task."
                              TemplateAlias="o1" />
                  </CommandUIDefinition>
              </CustomAction>
          </CustomActions>
        <Templates>
          <RibbonTemplates Id="Mscrm.Templates"></RibbonTemplates>
        </Templates>
        <CommandDefinitions />
        <RuleDefinitions>
          <TabDisplayRules />
          <DisplayRules />
          <EnableRules />
        </RuleDefinitions>
        <LocLabels />
      </RibbonDiffXml>

    I think you have to correct Location value of CustomAction, there is not group with Name Save, try putting actual GroupName here.

    Location="Mscrm.Form.task.MainTab.<<Name of Group>>._children"

     

    <RibbonDiffXml>
          <CustomActions>
              <CustomAction Id="MVD.task.form.CompleteAndNew.CustomAction"
                  Location="Mscrm.Form.task.MainTab.<<Name of Group>>._children"
                  Sequence="11">
                  <CommandUIDefinition>
                      <Button Id="MVD.task.form.CompleteAndNew.Button"
                              LabelText="Complete and New"
                              ToolTipTitle="Complete and New"
                              ToolTipDescription="Mark as complete, save, and create new task."
                              TemplateAlias="o1" />
                  </CommandUIDefinition>
              </CustomAction>
          </CustomActions>
        <Templates>
          <RibbonTemplates Id="Mscrm.Templates"></RibbonTemplates>
        </Templates>
        <CommandDefinitions />
        <RuleDefinitions>
          <TabDisplayRules />
          <DisplayRules />
          <EnableRules />
        </RuleDefinitions>
        <LocLabels />
      </RibbonDiffXml>

    Thanks a million for the reply. The taskribbon.xml (found in the SDK...and I don't think it has changed from default) states that "Save" is in the name the name. See highlighted bold below. Am I missing something?

    Here's my complete, unmodified RibbonDiffXML. Oh, please find what's wrong with it!! :) This is silly that it doesn't work...I'm starting to wonder if there's a bug with this...I've done very similar CustomActions to the Email form with no problem.

    <RibbonDiffXml>
            <CustomActions>
                <CustomAction Id="MVD.task.form.CompleteAndNew.CustomAction"

    I think you have to correct Location, put a Controls after Save

    Location="Mscrm.Form.task.MainTab.Save.Controls._children"

    You're my hero for the day! That did it.

    So, why the heck can't I reference the Group name? The SDK specifically says to reference a "Tab or Group ID". Frustrating.

    Thanks so much Makarand
