Dynamics CRM Dev Helper

Developer productivity tools for Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM forms

Dynamics CRM Dev Helper is a powerful developer productivity extension built specifically for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (model-driven apps). It injects a floating, draggable dev panel directly into your CRM environment, giving you instant access to tools that normally require hours of manual work. Available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. ─── WHAT'S NEW ───────────────────────────────────── • OnChange JavaScript detection — the Fields tab now flags exactly which fields have OnChange handlers declared on the form, with the function name and source library. • Light & dark theme — a redesigned, modern UI with a theme toggle that applies to both the popup and the panel and follows you across devices. ─── FEATURES ───────────────────────────────────── ⚡ QUICK ACTIONS (from the toolbar popup) • Unhide All Fields — reveal every hidden field, tab, and section on the form. Click again to re-hide only the ones that were originally hidden. • Lock / Unlock Fields — remove disabled state from all controls for testing. Click again to restore only the fields that were originally locked. • Fill Dummy Data — auto-fill every field with realistic test data based on its type (text, number, date, option set, boolean, email, phone, and more). Click again to restore all original values instantly. 🛠 FLOATING DEV PANEL Open a draggable panel that stays on top of your CRM environment with seven powerful tabs, in your choice of light or dark theme.
