CRM 2015: Can schema changes be done via any of the APIs?

Hi, I'm an old CRM 2011 user, returning to the CRM world after a few years working with other products.

My Question:

> Do any of the CRM 2015 APIs allow a client to make schema changes to the solution? E.g. Add a new entity, add a column (field) to an existing entity, etc.

I don't believe this was allowed in CRM 2011 and prior.

I know I can go through the docs to find the details, but was hoping to get a nice quick answer from the community.

Much thanks in advance!

Hi,

You can change the Schema from 2011 and later versions. Here's the instruction to how to add an entity: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xrm.sdk.messages.createentityrequest(v=crm.7).aspx. If you browse the SDK I Think you will find more examples and instructions.

Hope it helps.
