How To Debug Ribbon buttons in Dynamics 365 Unified Interface ?

Dynamics 365 CE Unified Interface Ribbon Debug From URL

I was working on Ribbon buttons, each customization toke me much time (Edit, Publish, Clear cache...)

This trick present a very nice tool to debug the Command Bar in Dynamics 365: the "Command Checker".

Note that this tool is available only in Dynamics 365 CE Unified Interface, this tool is not available in EnPremise version.

Without the command bar debugger, the entity ribbon look like this

to enable the Command Bar Debug, add the tag below to your URL :

&ribbondebug=true

This param will make a new button appear in your Dynamics CRM in:

• Global Command Bar.

• Command Bar of the View.

• Command Bar of the Form.

Clicking on this button will open the debugging tool, below the parameters you can check from this tool

The displayed button on the form are with color Black, those with gray color are Hidden/Disabled.

when seleting your button, you will see on the left screen :

Command, Id, Labeltext, Sequence...

All events associated to the selected button(Action, Enable rule...) are available in Command Properties Tab

As you see below, you can see the return of each Enable Rule and Display Rule

The available status are : True, False, Skipped

The button will be displayed only if all the Enable rules = true

I Hope it I hope it helps.
