It's no secret in the CRM team that I'm not a fan of the Form Assistant (it's that thing that appears on the right hand side of some of the CRM form and gives you lookup info for related entities). I should also point out that the Form Assistant is the 'pet feature' of Sayta's (my VP) Technical Assistant - so my dislike for the feature is bound to get me into trouble.

 

If you want to remove the Form assistant here is the attribute to change in the ImportExport xml file:

 

<forms>

          <entity name="account" objecttypecode="1">

            <form type="main" id="{b053a39a-041a-4356-acef-ddf00182762b}" enablerelatedinformation="false" relatedInformationCollapsed="true">

 

The one you are after is 'enablerelatedinformation'. By default this is set to true. Simply change it to false and then import the file back to CRM and run a publish. If you really dislike the form asssitant then a find replace for enablerelatedinformation="true" with enablerelatedinformation="false" might be a good idea.

 

Remember: run a back up of the database before doing this kind of stuff and like always this is inspirational not instructional.
