I’ve been asked about this a few times and hadn’t yet found out how to do it. My strategy was to keep looking until I found a good solution, and it finally paid off. In Ben Vollmer’s blog post, he explains a sweet trick that will let you do this, with a custom “counter” entity you increment to keep track of who the most recent Lead was assigned to.

 

It’s a very nice approach, and solves the problem with no code. 

 

Nice article, Ben!

 

The blog this comes from, by the way, is the MS Dynamics CRM Team Blog, and it’s a very good source of information. You can navigate directly to the workflow section of the blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/crm/archive/tags/Workflow/default.aspx
