Access Team Template Mover


🛈 Note

With the 2023 release wave 1 update, access team templates can be added in a solution and this tool is no longer required for the online environments.

This XrmToolBox tool allows you to move Access Team Templates across different Microsoft Dataverse environments (developed by Aung Khaing).

Deploying Access Team Template across different environments with the same GUID is often required to maintain the access team subgrid on the form and minimise human error. But the problem is that Access Team Template is not solution aware and moving across as data would cause the problem for custom tables with different ObjectTypeCode in a different environment.
To overcome this issue, you can use this tool to transfer access team templates from one environment to another easily while maintaining the same GUID for the rows.

  1. Has any update done on the plugin recently? I'm getting the error: retrieve can only return columns that are valid for read

    1. There was no update with the plugin (tool) since 27 Feb 2019. It is the change in the platform which does not allow to read the supportingsolutionid attribute in the teamtemplate entity.

      I have fixed and raised a pull request to the tool author.
      Meanwhile, you can download the .dll from my repo and replace in your XrmToolBox plugins folder and to install the updated tool manually.

  2. I just came to realization that access team templates are now solution aware. We added the template to solution and imported successfully - no more xrm toolbox needed :)
