Hello,

How can I find the selected entity is custom or customizable using entity metada in Plugin code? Please let me know.

Thank you.

You need to examine the properties of the response like this:

 RetrieveEntityRequest retrieveBankAccountEntityRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest
  {
  EntityFilters = EntityFilters.All,
  LogicalName = "account"
  };
  RetrieveEntityResponse retrieveBankAccountEntityResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)service.Execute(retrieveBankAccountEntityRequest);

  bool test = retrieveBankAccountEntityResponse.EntityMetadata.IsCustomizable.Value;
  bool test2 = retrieveBankAccountEntityResponse.EntityMetadata.IsCustomEntity.Value;

Hi,

As Jammie mentioned that you can get the status using RetrieveEntityRequest, i wrote the full code to make it easy for you to check whether entity is custom or customizable

RetrieveEntityRequest jj_RetrieveEntityRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest();

RetrieveEntityResponse jj_RetrieveEntityResponse = null;

bool jj_IsCustomEntity = false, jj_IsCustomizableEntity = false;

jj_RetrieveEntityRequest.EntityFilters = Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.EntityFilters.Entity;

jj_RetrieveEntityRequest.LogicalName = "gits_application";

jj_RetrieveEntityResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)crmService.Execute(jj_RetrieveEntityRequest);

if (jj_RetrieveEntityResponse != null)
{
 jj_IsCustomEntity = jj_RetrieveEntityResponse.EntityMetadata.IsCustomEntity.HasValue;
  
 jj_IsCustomizableEntity = jj_RetrieveEntityResponse.EntityMetadata.IsCustomizable.Value;
}

I need to find if the entity is Custom or Customizable. I don't see any example in the link you provided.
