A picklist field returns no values when you add a picklist field in the associated view of a custom entity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When you add a picklist field in the associated view of a custom entity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, the picklist field returns no values.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you use a reserved word, such as "area" or "relationship," in the schema name of a custom entity. Additionally, this problem occurs only when the schema name follows this pattern:
Prefix_ReservedWordAdditionalCharacters
For example, the problem occurs if the schema name is "new_areas" or "new_areasOfInterest."

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, follow one of these guidelines:
  • Do not use a reserved word in the schema name of a custom entity.
  • If you must use a reserved word in the schema name, add an additional underscore or other characters in front of the reserved word. For example, you can use "new__areas" and "new__areasOfInterest" as schema names.

STATUS

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0.

APPLIES TO

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
