How to Find Which Form Each Dynamics 365 Field is Being Used On

While working on a project, I had to figure out whether if a field was being used on any of the forms or not. If we go through each form and create a list of fields used, it will be very time consuming, and it is easy to make mistakes with this approach.

Upon doing some research I figured out that we can use XRMToolBox’s Bulk Form Attribute Manager. This tool provides a list of attributes for each entity, and by clicking on the attributes we can find out which form it is being used on.

Following are the steps to achieve this:
1. Download XRMToolBox, and open it.
2. Establish a connection with your Dynamics 365 instance by clicking on Connect button.

4. Then click on Load Entities button.

5. Select the entity, in this case I selected Contact entity.
6. Then we need to select the field that we want to check what form it is on, in this case I selected Suffix, and the window on right showed me which form had this field.
