Hi, I’m confused on how to select the dynamic fields. When I look in the driver ui, I can see the dynamic fields like “createdbyname” which are populated based on the values in “createdby” - but if I try to query using `select createdbyname from account` I get an error: “Query failed: [0x80060888] Could not find a property named ‘createdbyname’ on type ‘Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.account’”

Is there something special I need to do to be able to do this? In TSQL with ssms I can select these fields without issue. Reading through the docs, I don’t see a driver setting that seems like it would enable this feature. Can anyone tell me what I’m missing?

@DaveJones4 &nbsp;, Thanks for reaching out to us.

As per your query, I ran a similar query on my end and encountered the same error. This suggests there may be an issue within the driver. I’ll conduct additional tests to confirm and keep you updated as soon as possible. Ideally, the query you wrote should retrieve the records without any issues.
