    I have a form with the ownerId attribute on it as a Field.
    The problem I have is that I want the field to be blank sometimes rather than it being assigned to someone.
    I am unable to do this as the OwnerId attribute is System Required and therefore cannot be blank.

    Any way around this?

    Hi JMcCon,

    While creating a new entity you can specify the 'Ownership' of the entity.
    If you dont want the OwnerId field to be System Required then make the Ownership as 'Organization', In this case OwnerId field wont be present in the attribute list.
    Now if you want an Owner, then create a create a relationship with User entity(systemuser) and add that field on the form.
    In this way your problem will get solved.

    Hi,
    This is not possible. In MS CRM every entity must have an owner.
    However if you want some other field to replace the owner, create a relationship with User entity(systemuser) and add that field on the form.
    and then you can hide the system ownerid field using javascript.
