    Hello Everyone,

    I can not get the Owner of the existing record using the script below. The form is on Update state!!!

    entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];


    EntityReference OwnerId = (EntityReference)entity["ownerid"];

    Entity member = service.Retrieve("systemuser", OwnerId.Id, new ColumnSet(true));

    OwnerEmail

    Regards,

    Hussain

    The owner won't be in the target entity for an update step, only the fields that have changed.

    You just need to do another retrieve to get the current entity data:

    Entity current = service.Retrieve("entityname", context.PrimaryEntityId, new ColumnSet("ownerid"));
EntityReference OwnerId = (EntityReference)current["ownerid"];

    You might also want to check if the OwnerId is in target first using if(entity.Contains("ownerid")), if it is then get it from target, otherwise get it using the method above.

    Hope that helps,

    Paul

    Hi Hussain,

    You can register a postimage for the update step and then from the image you can get the ownerid.To use the postimage go through the following link.
