Dynamics 365 – V9.0 – Multiselect option sets walk through
In this article I am going to walk through the new field type “Multiselect Option set” from V9.0.
As the name suggests, “Multiselect Option set” will allow User to choose multiple choices.
In this walk through, I am going add a new ‘Multiselect Option Set’ called ‘Branches’ on ‘Account’ entity to capture the Account presence across the country.
- Create a new field of type ‘Multiselect Option Set’ to the Account entity. I chose existing Global option set ‘City’ for this example. Create new Options, if you dont want to go with Global option set.
- Add this field on ‘Account’ main form and Publish the customizations.
- Open any of the existing Account record and Select the Branches.
- Add ‘Branches’ field to the view
- Search in ‘Advanced Find’
- Fetchxml would form as below
Key Points:
- Multi-select option sets are available for Unified Interface and the web client.
- Multi-select option sets are available for the following form types: Main, Quick Create, and Quick View.
- Multi-select option sets won’t be supported on legacy forms.

I recently started utilizing this new attribute type – obviously we’ve all been waiting a long time Microsoft! 🙂 I have a Dynamics 365 Portal Web Form that has one of these attributes and it is not rendering on the web page. Looking for advice or confirmation…
I know this is an old article, but I hope you’ll get a notification of a reply.
We recently migrated to D365 online and added some multi-select optionsets to our database. Now we can’t get them to show on our SSRS reports. Is there a trick to getting the data to appear on our reports?
