If an attribute contains a Boolean, status, picklist, or state value, the function returns a comma-separated list of option and display values.

## Availability

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Marketing Cloud Engagement</td>
    <td>✅ Yes</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Marketing Cloud Next</td>
    <td>❌ No</td>
  </tr>
</table>

## Syntax

```
DescribeMscrmEntityAttributes(entityName)
```

The `DescribeMscrmEntityAttributes()` function has one parameter:

- `entityName` (string): Required. The name of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM entity to retrieve attributes from.

## Usage

```
%%[ Var @fields_rs Set @fields_rs = DescribeMscrmEntityAttributes('Lead') ]%%

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Field Name</th>
    <th>Display Name</th>
    <th>Type</th>
    <th>Required</th>
    <th>Options</th>
  </tr>
  %%[
    Var @field_name, @field_displayname, @counter, @field_type, @field_required, @field_options
    For @counter = 1 to rowcount(@fields_rs) do
      Set @field_name = Field(row(@fields_rs,@counter), 'Name')
      Set @field_displayname = Field(row(@fields_rs,@counter), 'DisplayName')
      Set @field_type = Field(row(@fields_rs,@counter), 'Type')
      Set @field_required = Field(row(@fields_rs,@counter), 'Required')
      Set @field_options = Field(row(@fields_rs,@counter), 'Options')
  ]%%
  <tr>
    <td>%%=v(@field_name)=%%</td>
    <td>%%=v(@field_displayname)=%%</td>
    <td>%%=v(@field_type)=%%</td>
    <td>%%=v(@field_required)=%%</td>
    <td>%%=v(@field_options)=%%</td>
  </tr>
  %%[ Next @counter ]%%
</table>
