New XrmToolBox plugin : Bulk Form Attribute Manager

And now a new version of XrmToolBox!

This release includes a new plugin that will help you to apply some actions on attributes displayed in mutliples forms. The need for this tool came from a XrmToolBox user that has an entity with 180 forms. Imagine how long it takes to change one attribute property on each of these forms…. Nightmare!

So, the tool will help you to change the following properties for an attribute on multiple forms:

  • Label
  • Visibility
  • Read Only
  • Lock

The tool can also help you to add/remove an attribute on multiple forms. When adding an attribute, you need to specify next to which existing attribute this new field will be added. If available space, the attribute is just added. If no space available, a new row in the section is added before adding the new attribute.

Some other tools in the toolbox have been fixed as some lists had a size problem (due to Visual Studio 2013 Update 3, as far as I can tell). That should now be fixed.

Another great feature of the new version of XrmToolBox is the Check Version feature: when the toolbox starts, it calls CodePlex download page to see if there is a new version available. If so, a popup warns you and you can open the download page. That should help you to keep the toolbox up to date (you can also follow the project on CodePlex to receive new version notification).

As usual, the new version can be downloaded on CodePlex
