I am basically trying to find out how to identify if anything (any control, plugin or workflow) was triggered from a custom button on the ribbon of an entity. Is there a way to identify it?

One way is I change a boolean field on the form on click of the custom button. Is there any other better or efficient solution?

I am using CRM 2011 and triggering a custom plugin on the update of the entity.

Thank in advance.

The only way I know to identify if a plugin has been triggered is to add Trace in it. – Kévin Rapaille Aug 8 '12 at 13:59

Apologies - I posted in haste. Have re-read your question and realise you are proposing the same solution and wondering if there are alternatives...


In short, there is no footprint available server-side that tells you anything about what client-side method was used to change an attribute.

The solution you describe (set a flag whenever the ribbon button changes something) is, I'm certain, the only option.
