Enhancement Ideas #9

Hey,

First off thanks for writing this tool at all! It worked great to add PCF controls for the Web interface. Which brings me to my first recommendation, it would be great if you could add support for the Mobile and Tablet interfaces.

Additionally Dynamics isn't great at cleaning up references to PCF controls when you remove a field from a form, leaving a hidden XML reference that can create downstream issues. It would be great if this tool recognized orphaned Control Descriptions and added the option to remove them.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hello @improving-jeffd ,

Thanks for this feedback !

Mobile & Tablet are definitely for the next release (based on the time I can dedicate to the tool). Regarding the orphan that's a great idea as well, just to understand, the orphans are generated from the "official UI interface" or from the plugin ?

I keep you updated :)

Hey, sorry for the delayed response, I just realized I never responded.

Totally understood on needing time to dedicate to the tool. I had actually planned to write this very tool if I ever got spare cycles as my first contribution to XrmToolbox... You beat me to it though. Perhaps I'll contribute if I ever have free time.

As for the orphaned control description nodes they result from using the form editor (I think both classic and modern) to remove a field from the form that has a PCF control configured for it, without first removing the PCF configuration.

Thanks for your feedback and sorry if I did it before you 😄.

I'm close to finish the v1 of the formfactor handling.

As for the orphans, I will try to reproduce this to see how it looks and try to add a tab to manage those.
