This problem occurs after you upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of an error in the cfsdirectioncode field. The field is a picklist field, but there is no picklist value in the field metadata.

Note The cfsdirectioncode field must be present during the upgrade because the installation application must detect the data that is in the field to process Task activities. You can add data to the field by using the Microsoft CRM Software Development Kit (SDK). You cannot access the field by using the User Interface (UI).

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, delete the cfsdirectioncode picklist attribute. To do this, follow these steps.
  1. Make sure that the cfsdirectioncode picklist attribute is not required. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. In Microsoft CRM, click Settings, click Customization, and then click Customize Entities.
    2. In the Customization Entries dialog box, double-click Task.
    3. Click Forms and Views, and then double-click Form.
    4. If the cfsdirectioncode field does not appear on the form, go to step 2.
    5. Select the cfsdirectioncode field, and then click Change Properties.
    6. Verify that the Lock the Field on the form check box is cleared.
  2. Delete the cfsdirectioncode picklist attribute. To do this, follow these steps.

    Note After you complete these steps, the data that is in the cfsdirectioncode field will be lost.
    1. On the Microsoft CRM client, click Settings, click Customization, and then click Customize Entities.
    2. In the Customization Entries dialog box, double-click Task.
    3. In the Entity:Task dialog box, click Attributes.
    4. Select the cfsdirectioncode picklist attribute, and then click Delete.
    5. Click Save and Close.
    6. Click Publish.
