Custom entity with same display name as out of the box?
Posted by Mark Andrews on May 14th, 2008


I tried to create a new entity "new_InvoiceDDI" with a display name of
"Invoice" and it won't allow the display name to
be the same as a "out of the box" entity.

Why is this? Anyone know a way around it?

Hi Mark,

There's no way around it except renaming the existing invoice entity to
something else. One obvious reason is the Outlook Client. It uses the
display names to show folders, but folders needs to have a unique name. The
web client uses the display names as well, so how can a user differentiate
between two entities having the same name?

If you don't need the original invoice entity, then rename it to "(unused,
original) invoice" or something like that. Publish it and then you should be
able to rename your custom entity to invoice.
