Quick Tips- Workflow Action SetWordTemplate not there?

  • Jul 29, 2019

Quick Tips - a succinct post which handles a specific tip or topic; not requiring too much explanation or guidance.

One of my favourite actions in a Workflow is the SetWordTemplate action which I have used across numerous deployments, shown off in presentations and may have blogged about it. It allows you to call a specific Word Template, run it against a record in D365CE and then it will attach it to the notes section of the record.

However, I recently created a custom entity and didn’t have an option to set it as the target record for the workflow action. It gave me other lookups like created by but no option for the record itself.

Turns out you need to enable the entity for Business Process Flows otherwise you cannot use this action. I’m not entirely sure why, it’s potentially one of the fields it automatically creates as part of the process for enabling the entity for BPF’s (which you cannot disable once enabled as it creates fields) but I can’t confirm this.

Ciao for now!

In the history of the NFL, few redemption arcs have been as dramatic—or as swift—as Saquon Barkley's. One year, he was the star running back the New York Giants couldn't bring themselves to pay. The next, he was hoisting the Lombardi Trophy with the hated rival Philadelphia Eagles, holding his daughter as confetti rained down, and etching his name into the record books as the most prolific single-season rusher the league has ever seen.

To write about Chelsea Football Club is to trace the arc of modern football itself—a story of tradition abruptly intersecting with transformative wealth, leading to a relentless, often tumultuous, ascent to the summit of the game. Founded in 1905 in the affluent West London borough of Stamford Bridge, Chelsea long carried the air of the glamorous underachiever: a club with a famous home, a charismatic and celebrity-filled support, but a trophy cabinet that belied its stature. For decades, its identity was one of stylish flair and sporadic cup success, punctuated by the flamboyant sides of the 1960s and 70s. This all changed irrevocably on July 1, 2003, a date that marks the clearest "before and after" moment in football club…
