    Dear all;

    as we know that when we create new record throguh plugin we add field names and value for example 

    Entity account= new Entity();

    account["name"]="abc"

    service.create(account);

    can we do in a way like 

    we have array of fields

    Account[1]="abc"

    service.create(Account);

    That's not impossible since the attributes of the entity are not stored in no particular order like columns of the datatable.

    The closest thing that I could think of is declaring a readonly string array beforehand.

    public readonly string[] accountAttrib = { "name", "accountnumber", "email", "website" };
Entity account = new Entity("account");
account[accountAttrib[0]] = "abc";
account[accountAttrib[1]] = "12345";
account[accountAttrib[2]] = "test@abc.com";
account[accountAttrib[3]] = "www.abc.com";
service.create(account);
