Dynamics 365

Action Parameters referencing deleted entities

While working on a project, I recently encountered a strange behavior in Dynamics 365. I am not sure if this is a bug (or feature), but something that we should be really careful about. One of the entities that we were working on, was created without following the organizational guidelines and had to be recreated. In this particular scenario it is not really a big deal because the project is still in early stages of implementation so changes and cleanup occur on a regular basis.

Process Deactivate Action on Multiple Records using Custom Workflow

In a few of my recent implementation I had the requirement of making modifications to many child records. Some of these processes required the use of an external SSIS package that executed a console application and ran on a schedule, but more recently I had a requirement to simply deactivate multiple child records. This of course can also be done using cascading rules, but it’s a little more complicated once you involve custom filtering.
