  • Provision to view archived attachments and deletion of retained records from Dataverse

    Sat, 22 Mar 2025 12:11:37 GMT – Dataverse Long Term Retention – New 

    The Long-Term Data Retention (LTDR) feature in Dynamics 365 offers significant benefits by enabling the archival of records into low-cost storage.

    However, there are certain limitations that we hope will be addressed or included in the future roadmap:

    1. Viewing Retained Attachments: Currently, the feature only displays the metadata of retained files without allowing access to the actual attachments. Providing functionality to view or download retained files would significantly increase adoption, as this limitation has made clients hesitant to leverage the feature.
    2. Deleting Retained Records: At present, deleting retained records from Dataverse requires custom jobs utilizing SDK messages. Introducing an option to delete data from retained tables, similar to retention policies, would simplify operations and encourage broader use of this feature.
