A boolean indicating if the entity definitions metadata endpoint should be used.

Syntax

Connect-Dynamics365 -UseEntityDefinitions SwitchParameter

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

When set to true, the entity definition endpoints are used to retrieve metadata, rather than the $metadata endpoint. More detailed information, including column length, description, precision, and scale, is provided. However, response times are slower due to the larger metadata payload. This option is recommended when precise column metadata is required, and the default data type attributes cannot be relied upon.
