Features
| Name | Comment |
|---|---|
| Dialog \ Workflow Calculation | This formula type has been replaced by the formula type 'Process Genie' |
| Display Alert | Use a Validation rule or the client-side function Alert() |
| Notifications | These formula types have been replaced by using the 'Client Side Perform Action' formula type & SetFormNotification() function. |
| Save To Children | The formula type Save To Children has been deprecated. Instead use a ForEachRecord() function call to iterate over the child records & then perform an UpdateRecord() function call to issues the updates. See here for an example, https://support.north52.com/knowledgebase/articles/345346-xrm-formula-12-sync-account-address-with-all-c |
