Field Type Reference

[Applies to: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0]

Find the latest SDK documentation: CRM 2015 SDK

The label for a field can differ from the schema name for the entity attribute. All Microsoft Dynamic CRM form fields have an ID value equal to the schema name of the entity attribute.

To access the properties and methods of the field objects within the crmForm, use the schema name of the entity attribute. For example, to access the Topic field in a Lead form, use the syntax crmForm.all.subject.

The following table lists the field types that are supported.
