We are making a migration to Microsoft Dynamics CRM through a 3rd party. In order to accomplish it, we are sending all of our requests through the soap endpoint.
In any operation (create/update...) when we need to reference another entity we do so through a key field (since we don't have the IDs) i,e:
<c:value i:type="b:EntityReference">
<b:KeyAttributes xmlns:e="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/7.1/Contracts">
<e:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
<c:key>accountnumber</c:key>
<c:value i:type="f:string" xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">ABCETJKL</c:value>
</e:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
</b:KeyAttributes>
<b:LogicalName>account</b:LogicalName>
<b:Name i:nil="true"/>
<b:RowVersion i:nil="true"/>
</c:value>
The problem is that we are trying to perform a createRequest in an entity with a partylist. So far we've only been able to obtain the desired result if we use the id when creating the partylist field, when we try to create it as if it were a reference, that
attribute is left blank by CRM :
...
<b:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
<c:key>from</c:key>
<c:value i:type="b:EntityCollection">
<b:Entities>
<b:Entity>
<b:Attributes>
<b:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
<c:key>partyid</c:key>
<c:value i:type="b:EntityReference">
<b:KeyAttributes xmlns:e="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/7.1/Contracts">
<e:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
<c:key>accountnumber</c:key>
<c:value i:type="f:string" xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">ABCDEFG</c:value>
</e:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
</b:KeyAttributes>
<b:LogicalName>account</b:LogicalName>
<b:Name i:nil="true"/>
<b:RowVersion i:nil="true"/>
</c:value>
</b:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
</b:Attributes>
<b:LogicalName>activityparty</b:LogicalName>
</b:Entity>
</b:Entities>
<b:EntityName>activityparty</b:EntityName>
</c:value>
</b:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
...
Is it possible to make this connection? To reference a partyList field through a key value instead of the id?
