Virtual entities are a very important feature introduced by Dynamics 365 to make the integration of external data much easier than before. But virtual entities are still in their infancy and are not without limitations. Here are a few of these limitations:
- The data in a virtual entity is read only, which means that we cannot modify these records. Since the records can't be changed, there is no way to push the changes made in Dynamics 365 back to the external system.
- Virtual entities are only available at the organization level. The access to virtual entity data for individual users can be controlled by their security role. Also, field-level security is not available.
- The external source and virtual entity have to be mapped accurately from entity level to field level. Any mistake at any point in mapping would lead to errors in the creation...
