I need to create a new field on a custom entity in a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 solution.
When I create the field the name is prefixed with an static "new_".
I can see that there is a default publisher with this prefix and a custom one with another prefix.
How do I create this new field with the custom publisher prefix.
Is my user somehow connected to a publisher which I need to change or is there another way?
Working in a solution is best practice.
Any entity/field created in a solution will use the publisher prefix of the publisher associated with the solution.
There is a lot of detail on MSDN.
There is a publisher record associated with a solution.
The prefix that is used is take from the publisher associated with the solution you are working in.
You can change the prefix of the default solution's publisher, but I think it is much better to create a new solution.
Solutions can help to bundle up customizations and keep things organized.
I recommend using an unmanged solution unless you have a specific requirement for a managed solution.
