PACX ⁓ Create columns: Boolean

Welcome to the 3rd article of the series where we show how to leverage PACX commands to create Dataverse columns.

---

Creating a Boolean column is quite straightforward:

pacx column create --type Boolean --table my_table --name "Is Open?"
pacx column create -at Boolean -t my_table -n "Is Open?"

PACX assumes the following conventions:

• SchemaName and LogicalName are built by
  • taking the publisher prefix of the current default solution ({prefix})
  • taking only letters, numbers or underscores from the specified --name ({name})
• RequiredLevel is set to None
• Description is left empty
• Label for truevalue is "True"
• Label for false value is "False"

You can override the default labels for Trueand False values via:

pacx column create --type Boolean --table my_table --name "Is Open?" --trueLabel Yes --falseLabel No
pacx column create -at Boolean -t my_table -n "Is Open?" -tl Yes -fl No

Of course you can also override all the other conventions as described in the previous articles of this series.
