Disabling a Ribbon Button Based on the Current Table and Form in Dynamics 365
In Dynamics 365, ribbon (or command bar) buttons can be enabled or disabled using enable rules. The enable rule functions should return true if the button should be enabled and false if the button should be disabled. In this example, we want to disable a button when the current record belongs to a specified entity (table) and is displayed on a specified form.
Opening a Specified Related Entity Form with Pre-Populated Parameters in Dynamics 365
In Dynamics 365 customizations, you may encounter scenarios where you need to open a related entity form with pre-populated fields.

How To Retrieve the ObjectTypeCode by Table Name in Dynamics 365
In Dynamics 365 (Dataverse), each entity is assigned a unique numerical identifier known as the ObjectTypeCode. This code is used internally for various purposes, such as filtering system forms and working with metadata. While some approaches may attempt to query metadata directly via unsupported endpoints (like EntityDefinitions), the recommended and supported method is to use the Xrm.Utility.getEntityMetadata function.
How to Dynamically Switch Forms in Dynamics 365 Based on Field Values Using JavaScript
In Dynamics 365, the user interface can be dynamically adjusted to enhance user experience and streamline data entry processes. One way to achieve this is by switching forms based on the value of a specific field. This article provides a detailed guide on how to implement this functionality using JavaScript.
How to Redirect Users to a Home Page or Custom Page After They Sign In
If you’re using Power Apps portals (now Power Pages) or a similar setup with Azure Active Directory (AD) / Azure B2C logins, you may want users to land on a home page—or different pages depending on how they signed in—rather than the default profile page. Below are the core steps to achieve this, along with examples of handling custom query parameters.

Resolving Metadata Setting Attribute Value Failures in Power Pages
Introduction
When integrating Power Pages with Dynamics 365, you might encounter an issue where changes to field attributes through Power Pages metadata settings do not reflect due to Dynamics 365 fields being set to read-only. This article provides a straightforward explanation and solution to this common problem.
How to Get the User's Current Location in Dynamics 365 Using JavaScript

How to Limit the Maximum Number of Records in a D365 View (Top N) Using a Plugin
Requirement
We need to limit how many records a Dynamics 365 (D365) view returns. Since there’s no out-of-box (OOB) way to do this, we introduced a custom column dsl_topn. This column holds the “Top N” value we want. A plugin then intercepts the FetchXML query and injects the <fetch top="N"/> attribute, removing any conflicting paging attributes in the process.
Merging Word Documents in Dynamics 365 Using Only Built-In Features
Below is a straightforward approach to merge two Word documents in Dynamics 365—without resorting to third-party paid connectors or extensions.

Background
In Power Pages (formerly known as Power Apps portals), Entity Lists often present clickable hyperlinks on the first column. While this is convenient for navigation to detailed records, sometimes you might want to display this information as plain text instead. For example, you may have a “Case Number” or “Grievance Number” column that you want visible, but not clickable.
