CRM 4: Follow Up button causes script error when Form Assistant Pane is disabled

Obviously many of you have found that Form Assistant Pane is not really that useful. Therefore, CRM 4 has an option to disable Form Assistant Pane completely. However, the CRM team seems to have forgotten about the Follow Up button in the main toolbar. Clicking on the Follow Up button supposedly will expand the Form Assistant Pane and allow users to quickly create a Follow Up task activity, but instead, script error will occur because the Form Assistant Pane is no where to be found.

It is possible to hide the Follow Up button using script on load of the form.

Request not supported new_xxx when calling Custom Action via WebApi

Image
Using CRM 2016 Online, you can create custom Action to execute custom business logic to meet your specific business requirements leveraging the workflow-like configuration window to define the business logic rather having it written in the code. The custom Action can be called via CRM WebApi, and I encountered the following error whilst working on one of the projects. 'Request not supported new_xxx' Whilst there could be different causes to the error, one that occurred in my case is because the Unique Name has been changed after it was created. The initial name was too long, hence, shortened afterwards. However, the new name is not re-generated in the API metadata. Rather than re-creating the custom API, you can find the original name before it was updated by inspecting the API metadata which you can view at the following Url. https://[organization uri]/api/data/v8.0/$metadata   Simply download the file and open in a text editor, you can search for the custom Act...

Error in workflow sending email: "You cannot send email as the selected user."

The following error occurred when executing the workflow: "You cannot send email as the selected user. The selected user has not allowed this or you do not have sufficient privileges to do so." To resolve the error, there are two things to check: a. The dedicated CRM account must allow other users to send email on its behalf. Login to CRM webclient as the user, Go to Options -> Email tab, then tick the option 'Allow other Microsoft Dynamics CRM users to send email on your behalf.' b. Any other users executing the workflow must be given the privilege to send email on behalf of other user. Go to Security Role, under Business Management, tick the 'Send Email on behalf of other user'.  However, I feel reluctant to allow most, if not all, users the ability to send email on behalf of other users as it...
