Solzet Colored OptionSet
FreeSee your choices at a glance - instantly recognize the status of any record by color.
Solzet Colored OptionSet is a free PCF control that displays Dynamics 365 choice fields in the color defined on each option, so users recognize the status of a record at a glance. The standard form shows a choice as plain text or a simple dropdown, which is hard to scan when users need to understand the state of a record quickly. This control renders each selected value with its associated color and works with both single select (choice) and multi-select (choices) fields. It uses the color already configured on each option, so there is no extra setup: add the control to the field and it works. It suits status, stage, priority, category and approval fields.
What does Solzet Colored OptionSet do?
Choice fields in Dynamics 365 carry important status information - but the standard form shows them as plain text or a simple dropdown. When users need to quickly scan and understand the state of a record, plain labels aren't enough. ColoredOptionSet brings your choice field options to life by displaying them in the color defined on each option. Whether it's a single or multi-select choice field, each selected value is rendered with its associated color - making statuses, categories, and priorities visually immediately clear.
