Hello,

on PostContactCreate I change the contact-entity and add an attribute:
```
// service is IOrganizationService
entity.Attributes.Add("new_attribute", "StringValue");
service.Update(entity);
```
It works fine, but when the duplicate detection pops up and I say "Save Record" it does not save the record, and it gives me no error. Debugging tells me, the error occours at service.Update. But why ony at duplicate detection?

I run through the same code for the account, there it works perfect.

Any idea?

Hi Mycapi,

There might be having problem as you are updating entity in context by adding new attribute might create some duplicity.

Instead do like following.
```
// service is IOrganizationService
Entity entity = new Entity("contact"); // This will only update a single attribute rather then a whole entity object.
entity.attribute("contactid",SOME GUID);
entity.Attributes.Add("new_attribute", "StringValue");
service.Update(entity);
```
Hope it helps.

Thanks and regards,
Hiren Solanki.

Hey.

You could add a condition to check if the attribute already exist

if(entity.Attributes.Contains("new_attribute"))
{
   entity.Attributes["new_attribute"] = "StringValue";
}
else
{
   entity.Attributes.Add("new_attribute", "StringValue");
}

Thanks for answer. But that does not work. The attribute does not exist, at the moment I want to add it. I debugged it and didn´t see it and I tested this code after your answer:
```
if (entity.Attributes.Contains("new_attribute"))
{
  String str = "new_attribute exists"; 
  Exception ex = new Exception(str); 
  throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(str, ex);
}                    
```
It does not throw the exeption. But the solution of Solanki Hiren works.
