Using Microsoft Dynamics CRM API to get Status Reason Metadata Option
alphabold
Introduction
Dynamics 365 is a metadata-driven application; sometimes, we need to query the system metadata on the client side to get the configuration of an organization. This can be achieved using the Dynamics 365 API and the organization service. The Web API allows us to query metadata but does not allow us to detect changes in metadata at any given time.
StatusCode With Dynamic CRM API
We will try to achieve the retrieval of the Status Code from the Dynamics API with a metadata call.
There are two types of options in metadata to retrieve option set from Dynamics API
- Dynamics.CRM.PicklistAttributeMetadata is used for option sets
- Dynamics.CRM.StatusAttributeMetadata is used for the status reasons
