In my case, incident is the parent entity. I am firing plugin on status update of task and I have tried :

if (context.InputParameters.Contains("EntityMoniker") && context.InputParameters["EntityMoniker"] is EntityReference
)
{

EntityReference RegId = (EntityReference)entity.Attributes["regardingobjectid"];

}

Pl help .

I am getting null in RegId. I am registering my plugin on setstate and setstatedynamicentity both.

Hi,

Just saw another problem in your code that you are not getting task entity reference from context paramters, the complete code will be:

// Check if SetState message is triggered on task activity
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("EntityMoniker")
&& context.InputParameters["EntityMoniker"] is EntityReference
&& ((EntityReference)context.InputParameters["EntityMoniker"]).LogicalName == "task")
{
	switch (context.MessageName)
	{
		case "SetStateDynamicEntity":
		
		EntityReference taskEntityRef = (EntityReference)context.InputParameters["EntityMoniker"];

		entity taskEntity = service.retrieve(taskEntityRef.LogicalName, taskEntityRef.Id, new ColumnSet(new string[]{"regardingobjectid"}));

		EntityReference RegardingObjectId = (EntityReference)taskEntity.Attributes["regardingobjectid"]; 
		

		break;
	}
}

How are you populating the 'entity' variable ? If you do an explicit retrieve to retrieve the task, and ensure that regardingobjectid is in the column set, then the regaridngobjectid will be available (assuming that a value is set for it).

Alternatively, It may be possible to register an image against the plugin step - if so you could get the data from the image (via context.PreEntityImages or PostEntityImages), but I'm not sure if that works on the SetState messages

Hi,

In SetStateDynamicEntity message (SetState will not trigger only SetStateDynamicEntity will trigger on status change of task entity) you will only recieve the EntityRefrence and Status, to get the regardingobjectid you might need to the entity data via service.retrieve method i.e.

entity taskEntity = service.retrieve(RegId.LogicalName, RegId.Id, new ColumnSet(new string[]{"regardingobjectid"})); EntityReference RegardingObjectId = (EntityReference)taskEntity.Attributes["regardingobjectid"];
