Hi,
Thank you for sharing your question. I understand how frustrating it can be when the Customer Execution Probability field gets stuck on just D or E, especially when you’re trying to maintain accurate forecasting in your CRM. You’ve done the right thing by seeking a resolution—let’s walk through why this might be happening and how to adjust it effectively.
It’s possible the field is configured as an Option Set with fixed values (such as A, B, C, D, E) and may be tied to specific business logic or workflows. When the probability gets locked to D or E, it often means that there’s either missing data in required fields or a business rule that automatically sets those options.
Here’s how to resolve it following guidance similar to Microsoft Learn documentation on probability fields:
You can manually update the probability field by editing the record directly if you have the right permissions and there are no automation rules overriding your input. It should allow typing in or selecting the option you need (e.g., A, B, C), assuming the field isn’t locked by form-level security or processes.
If that doesn't work, check for Business Rules or Workflows that set the probability automatically. For example:
A common approach, shown in Dynamics 365 setups, is using Business Rules to set the probability based on the pipeline stage. Users configure it so that when the stage is “Develop,” the probability is set to 25%, and so on. If such a rule exists, it may be overriding your manual changes.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Noel
