Last week, I was assigned a task to perform some changes in the view that is associated with system’s invoice product inline editable sub-grid, placed at Invoice entity. I was aware that these system views cannot be changed directly. However, we could make a copy of such views and do the changes. Hence, I made a copy of existing “Invoice Product Inline Edit view” of Invoice Product entity and did the changes as per customer’s needs. Once done, I assigned this newly copied view to the inline editable sub-grid and published the changes.
After publish, surprisingly, I faced two problems, mentioned as under.
- It had stopped inline editing feature.
- It did not allow importing Invoice Product entity from one CRM instance to another or back to the same instance.
I’m still not able find a solution for aforementioned point #1.
However, for point#2, I’ve found a workaround. Let me explain the same here in this post.
After applying the aforementioned changes, when I tried to import the Invoice Product entity to another CRM instance, I saw the following error message.
“The ‘label’ attribute is not declared”
Out of curiosity, I had extracted the solution zip file and dived into the customisation.xml file. Here, I found a problem. The customisation.xml file was having some unrequired label tags in it (highlighted in following screen print).
I hope you come to know the solution at this point.
Either, we remove these unwanted label tags from the customisation.xml file, bundle it, and re-import it.
OR
Perform the following steps,
- Go to Settings –> Customizations –> Customize the System –> Expand the entities tab and open the newly created Invoice Product entity view.
- Remove the existing columns which were copied from original view and add them back. It’s just one time activity.
- Save the view and publish the customization.
- The solution will import successfully.
I hope this post would be helpful.
If anyone knows a solution for the above first problem then please feel free to revert for the same in comments area of this post.
