Hi Community,
In the following example I'm creating an email record on CRM Online 2016 (trial) where its from attribute
references to an existing account by guid:
// Create a new EntityCollection to add the party
EntityCollection from = new EntityCollection();
// Create activity party linked to account (from)
Entity apEntity = new Entity("activityparty");
apEntity.Attributes["partyid"] = new EntityReference("account", new Guid("475B158C-541C-E511-80D3-3863BB347BA8"));
from.Entities.Add(apEntity);
// Create email
Entity emailEntity = new Entity("email");
emailEntity.Attributes["subject"] = "Mail Subject GUID";
emailEntity.Attributes["from"] = from;
However, if account is referenced by existing alternate key (accountnumber) instead, it’s not able to reach corresponding
account (Account With Id = 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 Does Not Exist):
// Create a new EntityCollection to add the party
EntityCollection from = new EntityCollection();
// Create activity party linked to account (from)
Entity apEntity = new Entity("activityparty");
apEntity.Attributes["partyid"] = new EntityReference("account", "accountnumber", "AF3HN2S4");
from.Entities.Add(apEntity);
// Create email
Entity emailEntity = new Entity("email");
emailEntity.Attributes["subject"] = "Mail Subject AK";
emailEntity.Attributes["from"] = from;
In both cases, creation’s request is performed using same source code:
CreateRequest createRequest = new CreateRequest();
createRequest.Target = emailEntity;
organizationService.Execute(createRequest);
I'm not receiving this error if account is directly referenced, I mean, it's not indicated inside an attribute from an
activityparty entity.<o:p></o:p>
Could you please let me know if I’m missing some item on this action?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.
