Hello,
I'm trying to create annotation entity through javascript (SDK.REST.js library).
I want to set Regarding field using ObjectId and ObjectTypeCode.
I have following code:
function DoWork(fileString, filename) {
page = window.parent.Xrm.Page;
var entityId = page.data.entity.getId();
var entityTypeCode = page.context.getQueryStringParameters().etc;
//create:
var data = new Object();
data.Subject = "Test subject";
data.NoteText = "Test note text";
data.DocumentBody = fileString;
data.FileName = filename;
data.ObjectId = { Id: entityId, LogicalName: "account", Name: "NameOfAccount" };
data.IsDocument = true;
//data.ObjectTypeCode = { Value: 1 };
//data.ObjectTypeCode = { Value: "1" };
data.ObjectTypeCode = { Value: entityTypeCode };
console.log(JSON.stringify(data)); //for debugging
SDK.REST.createRecord(
data,
"Annotation",
function () {
console.log("succ");
},
function (error) {
ShowError(error.message);
//console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
});
}
However, I get error "Specified cast is not valid." in event log.

In reality, I'm trying to create annotation with regarding field set on some custom entity, but for start I want to make this work for Account entities.
What am I doing wrong?
When I remove this ObjectId and ObjectTypeCode attributes, annotation is created.
How can I set Regarding through javascript?
