  HI,
  

  I'm using the following code to create entity using javascript. Everything works fine, but I need to populate one more field, 'required attendees' which is of type partylist and I can't get it right. Any suggestions on how to achieve that in my code?

  
  

  function CreateRecords(entitySet) {
      var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl().toString();
      var ODATA_ENDPOINT = "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc";
      var ODATA_EntityCollection = "/" + entitySet + 'Set';
  
      var objRecord = new Object();
    
  	var date = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("scheduledstart").getValue();
  	var type = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_type").getValue();
  	
  
      objRecord.RegardingObjectId = { Id: consId , LogicalName: "new_testentity", Name: consName };
  	objRecord.new_Type = {"Value": type };
  	objRecord.new_testentityId = { Id: consId , LogicalName: "new_testentity", Name: consName };
  	objRecord.new_Pe = { Id: peId , LogicalName: "systemuser", Name: peName };
  	objRecord.ScheduledStart = date;
  	
  	var jsonEntity = window.JSON.stringify(objRecord);
  
      $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
          datatype: "json",
          url: serverUrl + ODATA_ENDPOINT + ODATA_EntityCollection,
          data: jsonEntity,
          beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {
              XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
          },
          success: function (response) {
              if (response != null && response.d != null) {
                alert("success");
              }
          },
          error: function (xmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
              alert("Status: " + textStatus + "; ErrorThrown: " + errorThrown);
          }
      });
  }
  

  SO I need to populate objRecord.RequiredAttendees and I tried to achieve this by using variations of the code block shown below

  var partyRequired = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("requiredattendees");
      var attendees = partyRequired.getValue();
        var partlistData = new Array(); 
  
      for (var i = 0; i < attendees.length; i++)
      {
      userId = attendees[i].id;
      userName = attendees[i].name;
       partlistData.push({
              id: userId,
              logicalName: userName,
              type: 'EntityReference'
          });
  
  }

  but I can't get it right. Any help will be appreciated.
