I am doing migration of existing accounts in our old system to MS CRM 1.2.
Since CRM does not allow to set the "Created On" field, I have defined
acustom field in my form which will display the imported "date created"
value. However, to be consistent, I also need to make sure that for the new
accounts created, this custom field should contain the date of creation.
I cannot update this field in workflow as the workflow manager option does
not allow you to update date fields.
I tried writing a trigger on the accountbase table (though this is
unsupported) and the account creation times out with this trigger.
I will not be able to use post callout as it will be running under the crm
transaction for creating a new account and hence the account will be locked
for updation.
Any suggestions on how I should go about this?
Thanks
