Return all attributes without having to list them all in the query

Sometimes you might want to return all attributes on an entity without having to list every single one of them in the FetchXML, to do this is very simple in FetchXML, just add in <all-attributes /> where you would normally add in the attributes. If you have a linked entity then you need to add this into the linked entity as well otherwise it will only bring back the primary entities fields.

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
   <entity name='account'>
      <all-attributes />
      <filter type='and'>
         <condition attribute='createdon' operator='today' />
      </filter>
   </entity>
</fetch>
