I’ve released a new free utility for CRM users that allows you to bulk-delete CRM Entity Attributes.

The user interface is fairly straightforward, as you can see below:

How It Works

The operation is pretty simple:

1) Select if your organization is OnPremise or CRM Online.

2) Enter the name of your server and the credentials required to connect properly.

3) Select the organization you wish to connect to.

4) Select the Entity you wish to delete attributes from.

5) Select the attributes to delete.

6) Click the delete button.

 

Behind the Scenes

This utility uses standard CRM SDK methods to delete the attributes you specify.  A log file is written to the location where the application is stored.  All actions will be logged and if errors are encountered, the log file will be displayed at the end of the processing cycle so you can see what happened.

Remember: The same rules that would apply if you were to delete an attribute through the CRM user interface apply here.  For example: if the attribute is used on a form, a view, or within a workflow, the deletion will fail and you will be given a list of locations where the attribute is in use.  You must remove the attribute from those locations before you can continue.
