Custom Data Entity Not Showing in Entity List in D365 Finance and Operations on Unified Development/Sandbox Environment (PPAC)

he Problem I Faced:

I added a new custom data entity with a computed column in Dynamics 365. Everything looked fine - the online build and sync succeeded. I also verified from the online build history, and it showed as completed. I then executed the entity refresh, and it was completed successfully. But the new entity wasn't showing up in the DMF entity list.

The Solution:

After investigation, I found that the entity had a sync issue, which I only discovered when I performed the Project Sync. I fixed the sync issue and then deployed the online build and sync again, followed by project sync and entity refresh. After this, the custom entity was successfully listed in the DMF entity list.

Key Lesson:

Online sync doesn't catch all problems. Always run Project Sync to validate your changes properly, especially when adding custom data entities.

Important Note:

Make sure your project property settings are correct:

• Synchronize Database on Build = True
• Deploy Changes to Online Environment = True

My Hope:

Since the unified environment is new, I hope Microsoft will fix this issue in future updates.
