Lookup Experience Manager

Most of the time when a lookup needs to be modified, lookups of the same type most likely need the same updates. It can be cumbersome to find those lookups, the forms they live on, and then have to navigate to each one to make the update. Also needing to find the control on the large forms takes time. For removing the inline New button, the formxml needs to be manually updated and would require the developer to reference API documentation to recall IsInlineNewButton in addition to the steps mentioned prior.

The Lookup Experience Manager allows the following configurations to be bulk updated for lookup controls without modifying the formxml directly or needing to navigate to each form a control lives on to make the update:

  • Inline New Button
  • Most Recently Used items
  • Main Form Create
  • Main Form Edit

Features

  • Select any solution → instantly see every lookup pointing to a target entity
  • Configure 4 key settings in one place:
    • Enable/Disable + New button
    • Show/Hide Recently Used (MRU)
    • Use Main Form dialog for Create
    • Use Main Form dialog for Edit
  • Smart tri-state checkboxes (Checked / Unchecked / Mixed - if multiple lookups are selected with different configurations)
  • Applies changes to all relevant forms automatically
  • One-click Save & Publish (only affected entities)
  • Full refresh support — reload metadata anytime
  • Dark theme UI
