Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance - How to change the default model in Visual Studio

When creating new projects in Visual Studio, the model of the project defaults to the Fleet Management model. This is annoying because you always have to manually change the model of the project to your own model before you can start working.

Perhaps even more annoying is that it's not possible to change the default model in the Visual Studio Dynamics 365 Options Add-In.


Lucky for us there's an easy fix for this by simply editing the DynamicsDevConfig.xml file located on the Dev Virtual Machine.


Here's how to change the default model in Visual Studio on your Dev Virtual Machine.


1. Close Visual Studio.

2. Locate the DynamicsDevConfig.xml file in C:\Users\<YourUserName>\Documents\Visual Studio 365\.

3. Change the DefaultModelForNewProjects value in DynamicsDevConfig.xml to preferred model.

4. Launch Visual Studio and create a new project to check if it's working.
