Create sub section within section of Dynamics CRM 2011 - Form Editor

I am assigned with a task of adding subsection within section of MS CRM 2011 - Form Editor.

Description: I can't find any default way of adding Nested Sections. Searching it on internet, I found that we can do it by changing XML that is being built in background but I can't find any way of importing and exporting XML.

I came across this link but this doesn't help.

Please let me know how can I achieve this in Dynamics CRM 2011

Solution

  • Nested sections - Why would you do that? Its highly dangerous UNSUPPORTED customization. You may need to touch these.

    Form XML Schema and <sections> (FormXml)

    <xs:element name="sections" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="section" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">

    What I would recommend is try to achieve it with Tabs & Sections. Tabs are collapsible & hide-able.

    Otherwise you can add a HTML web resource & do the styling the way you want using CSS, etc.
