My Requirement

I have renamed my CASE entity display name to ENQUIRY so wanted to Change all CASE entity messages(e.g. Wherever "CASE" is used in message, will be changed to "ENQUIRY").

I tried getting the ResourceKey name from all the REGX file from the CRM, since was not sure which REGX file will be having the required ResourceKey, still was not getting any result.

When I added the entity messages for "CASE" entity and exported the solution the customization.xml had the following ResourceKeys and many more

Customization.xml

So wanted to know how can we perform an bulk Update on Entity Messages without manually going and changing each message for an entity in Microsoft Dynamics.

I guess you are not trying to change schema name references or this ResourceKey, and you are trying these generic Entity messages. You can export translations to bulk edit in Excel and reimport. Read more

They are stored in displaystrings entity. If you want to try programmatically - still web api has possibility with below endpoint. Read more

The plural name (display name) should be used in a parameterized way from the CRM product perspective, though I remember the system views (Active cases, etc) were needed to be taken care after such display name changes. The customizations.xml will have them to update in one shot.
