Dynamics 365: Microsoft Dynamics CRM has experienced an error System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException

I created a new custom activity in an existing assembly, it retrieves a record from an entity and copies that record again in the database with some little changes,
then I'm calling this custom activity in a workflow "after completing a task" it works normally and created the new record I wanted to be created, but when completing a different task using a different custom activity in the same assembly it throws the below error.
I tried to unregister the new custom activity and remove its calling from the workflow it throws the same error although the newly added activity is unregistered!!
error:
[Microsoft.Crm.ObjectModel: Microsoft.Crm.Extensibility.InternalOperationPlugin]
[46f6cf4c-14ae-4f1e-98a1-eae99a37e95c: ExecuteWorkflowWithInputArguments]
Sync workflow 'Tedata | Service Order | Technical Decision Taken' terminated with error 'System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Microsoft Dynamics CRM has experienced an error. Reference number for administrators or support: #93D57568'
</s:Fault></s:Body></s:Envelope>
Note: the activity inside this workflow ( 'Tedata | Service Order | Technical Decision Taken) is already existing and I didn't change it.
the reason is I was registering the custom activity with isolation mode sandbox and one of the custom activity in the assembly using early bound.
so to avoid this error, I changed the code to be late-bound, Workflow started working fine in Sandbox mode as well or register the workflow to be isolation mode none

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM while adding a new Order Product record

Facing this issue and cannot identify the root of this error. Any inputs will be helpful.
When trying to add a new Order Product record associated with Order entity, I am getting the below mentioned Business Process Error. When trying with Admin user it does not give any error, but when trying using Standard User it given this error. Please find the related error statement.
P.S: Does this thing has anything do something with Plugin or Business Process Flows?
Thank You.
I think you have an plugin or workflows attached to this entity or related entity to it.
If you check into this direction it will help you analyze deep.

Get records in MS flow from Dynamics CRM

I am new to CRM and flow and in building a flow using MS flow, I need to get a record from Dynamics CRM equivalent to below SQL query -
select * from contacts where emailId = '<email id>'
Can you please help me to understand that how can I achieve this. I tried using List records feature but it threw an error that OData query is not correct. Image of flow is attached.
Well, it's working, I just had to put the parameter supplied in the single quote like -
emailaddress1 eq '<Customer email>'
If I understand correctly, the issue you are facing is with Filter query, Flow is not throwing an Error.
I tried to replicate the Flow on my Instance/org.
The issue is see is your filter filed "emailadress" should be selected from CRM i.e from system.
It is not mapped from CRM rather you wrote it per hand.
Click on Filter query it will open the dialog from where you could map the
fields. Screenshot below will help you understand more.

crm dynamics 2016 limit the number of files in a note

I'm trying to attach a document to the opportunity. My question is
Can the note be altered so that only one file can be attached and not several?
some example?
You can write a plugin on Pre-operation stage of Annotation Create message to evaluate if there is an attachment already for that particular Opportunity & stop the execution by throwing InvalidPluginExecutionException exception.
You can attach only one file in each Notes entry. So this should work.

Oracle CRM On-Demand - Use Tasks Status to update Service Request Status

We're using CRM On-Demand for our Service Group and I'm running into an application limitation and am wondering if anyone has a workaround or just some general ideas on how to accomplish our goal.
In the application, our major focus is around the Service Request and driving for users to create Tasks for all Activities related to working towards closure. For example, a customer calls in and we need a technical resource to make a return call to diagnose the issue in detail, so a Task is assigned to that resource. Once that Task has been marked as completed, I'd like the Status to be updated. I tried creating a workflow using JoinFieldValue(), which wasn't working. I tried a more basic approach and tried to just have a field on the Service Request be populated with the Status of the Task, but that did not work either.
Upon further investigation in the Help File, there is a relationship from the Activity object to the Service Request object, but not one the other way.
So, has anyone else run into this limitation and found some other method to have a Status change on the Task update the Status of a Service Request?
(Also, I'd like to try and avoid writing a custom web service for this purpose, which is why I'm trying to use the tools in the app)
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
actually, if I well understood your issue is related on workflow cross object.
OCOD doesn't manage this type of workflow when you need to use workaround.
In order to cover a cross object worklflow you have many possibilities:
webservices as you said, but you could imagine a js code that will run WS and hosted directly into OCOD (in R19 you could hoste that in Client Side extension). That could be a good solution
Another one could be using Report with a custom look up functionnality with the usage of "Callback" function
I would prefer the 1st solution.
