It’s been a while since I’ve updated TCS Tools the last time – there are a few reasons for that, of course. First of all, the most popular component in that solution has always been “attribute setter” which essentially allowed to do advanced operations in the workflows using FetchXml: Using FetchXml to query and update… Read More »
It was great to see how N:N lookup PCF control has sparked some interest, but there are still a few things that could(and probably should) be added.

If you ever wanted to have your own multiselect optionset which would be utilizing an N:N relationship behind the scene, here you go: It works and behaves similarly to the out-of-the-box multiselect optionset, but it’s not an option set.

One of the solutions had a workflow which required reference data. So it should not have been included into that solution to start with, but, since it was, it could not be activated. We’ve… Read More »

For the model-driven apps, it’s one of the easiest ways to quickly create standardized word documents for your entities.
