Get Entity Type Code by Name from Javascript – CRM 2015/2016

Hi, There is a very easy way to get Entity Type Code by Name like below var entityTypeCode = Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap[“lead”];   this will be really helpful when you try opening a CRM form or window. I have tested this in both CRM 2015 and 2016 which worked as charm. Credits to : https://blog.hompus.nl/2015/05/28/entity-type-code-using-javascript-only/ Thank you, Sreeni Pavalla
