  I think you have to change firstly metadata of CancelOnfield

  IsValidForUpdate:false->true

  after that we will update this field.

  see EntityMetadata excel sheet in SDK for details.

  Thanks for responding, Santosh!

  I found the spreadsheet and I found the entry for CancelOn. However, I haven't been able to find anything on editing the EntityMetaData. Can you be more explicit?

  Thank you again.

  Update:
  I found some instruction at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xrm.sdk.messages.updateentityrequest.aspx and I will give it a go.

  2nd Update:

  I am basing my code on the example at:

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg509014(v=crm.6).aspx

  I need to edit the metadata for a field on the Contract entity. I can get to the Contract entity's own metadata, but not that of its fields. Has anyone done this?

  My code so far:

  RetrieveEntityRequest retrieveContractEntityRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest
              {
                  EntityFilters = EntityFilters.Entity,
                  LogicalName = Xrm.Contract.EntityLogicalName
              };
              RetrieveEntityResponse retrieveContractEntityResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)_service.Execute(retrieveContractEntityRequest);
              EntityMetadata ContractEntity = retrieveContractEntityResponse.EntityMetadata;
  
              ContractEntity.Attributes[iInt].IsValidForUpdate = true;

  but ContractEntity.Attributes[] takes an integer and I don't know what to populate here. Can anyone guide me? Thanks!

  Further update:

  isValidForUpdate is read-only.

  Does anyoen know how I can accomplish a cancellation of suspension of a future Cancel date on a Contract?  One possibility is to re execute CancelContractRequest with today's date, and then Renew it. When renewed, it will be in draft mode so it can be updated, and I can change the dates to match the original, and then shange its State so it is Active.... but perhaps there is a more elegant solution?
