This is a custom Microsoft Dataverse Virtual Table Data Provider plugin that mirrors another entity in the same environment, mapping all the column/attribute names.
Might be useful if you want to convert a virtual entity into a real entity, keep the option open in future, or as a template/sample data provider plugin.
Very loosely tested, especially Create, Update, and Delete.
- Install the solution (alternatively: register the plugin dll then follow these steps)
- Create a new entity/table
- Select "Virtual Entity"
- In the "External Name" field, enter the logical name of the entity you want to mirror.
- In the "External Collection Name" field, you can enter anything as it is not used by the plugin.
- For each field, set the "External Name" to the logical name of the attribute you are mirroring. Don't forget the Primary Name and ID fields!
