Custom fields missing from Filtered Views? RRS feed

  • Question

  • We've added a dozen or so fields to a custom entity, and can see them in the entity view, but the FilteredEntity view is not updated.  Isn't that supposed to be automatically updated when a new field is added/removed?

  • This is CRM 4.0, with the latest rollups applied.  We've published the entity in question.

  • In SQL can you check if the fields exist in entityExtensionBase table. This table contains custom fields that are defined for an entity.

  • Usually publishing isn't required for the attributes to be in the tables, just to show them on the forms.  I agree that you should check in sql whether or not they are in the extensionbase tables.

  • Hi,

    Make sure that you are using the correct filtered view name, CRM also create another view for the entity with teh same name of entity i.e. account , contact etc

    Try accessing using the entity name i.e.

    SELECT * FROM account

    also make sure that the view has not been manually modified and try publishing CRM customizations and see if changes are relfected into the filtered views or not.

  • Guys,

    We are facing a similar issue. After importing soultion in another environment. The following are missing.

    1. Few attributes are missing in FilteredView and Entity view (Not the Views displayed in CRM) of a custom entity. So, getting an SQL error, when we try to retrieve a record with all columns.

    2. For another custom entity, view is not created.

    The required columns are added in ExtensionBase but missing from view.

    These views should be created while importing and publishing the solution nd not sure how they are missed.

    Any resolutions?? I even tried to publish all customizations but got no luck.
