Install Pre-built Solutions

As part of this project, there are two pre-built solutions - Un-managed and Managed. We recommend using the Un-managed solution if you wish to be able to debug the code. This is mainly designed for your development/sandbox environment. Once everything is configured and working as expected, we strongly recommend using the Managed solution for your production environment as all the code is optimized for performance. Please note - with the Managed solution you will not be able to debug the control.

• Un-managed Solution: C:\Controls\PowerDynCustomLabelPCF\Solutions\Un-managed\
• Managed Solution: C:\Controls\PowerDynCustomLabelPCF\Solutions\Managed\

powerdyncustomlabelpcf's Issues

Extend to use with Choice fields

Hi there, this looks like such a useful PCF and I thought it might solve an issue we have with the limitation on display name length, but then I realise it's only available for text fields.
A similar solution for Option Sets would allow a very nice way to build a questionnaire type page within CRM.
Do you think that would be possible in theory?

Just an idea, not a criticism of what already looks very useful!
