Dynamics CRM 9.0 is here and finally we got a very useful feature we as consultants and ISVs have always wanted to have.
A new type of field has been added which allows now users to have a multi selection optionset as you can see in the following screenshot. It can either be local or global just like ordinary Optionsets.

“There is no active transaction. This error is usually caused by custom plug-ins that ignore errors from service calls and continue processing” is a frequent error generated while attempting to create a new record (Account or Contact in most cases).
This is a bug that you can fix by deactivating the “ActivityFeeds plugin” regarding the entity that generated the error.
First navigate to Customizations then open Sdk Message Processing Steps, select the right plugin and click deactivate
The example given here is the Contact entity. You can follow the same process if you have a similar issue with other entities.

Dynamics CRM has a native amazing capability which allows every single user to use the application in his preferred language by changing personal options.
But first the available languages are just languages added to support by CRM administrator. To add new languages you should go to Settings==>Administration==>Languages then select one or many languages you want to make available for users and click Apply to enable it.
Few minutes later, you can change your user language preference by clicking on Options in the navigation bar.
Click now on the last tab “Languages” and choose another language among the languages you previously enabled. Refresh the home page and check the language change!!
