MS CRM update entity without change modified at and modified by

I've created a custom field in MS CRM 4 entiry used for calculations. Usually it would be filled by the plug-in handler.

How could I initialize this field for all records without changing the "modified at" and "modified by" fields? Is it possible from Web Service API?

Solution

  • I've heard of people running a SQL UPDATE statements on the CRM tables without adverse effects. I've even had MSFT premier support give me an UPDATE statement to fix a problem with a user's record.
