Create an Entity Record using "Xrm.WebApi.createRecord" in JS

ReportReport
Posted on by Amer Azzam 97

I was trying to Create an entity record using "Xrm.WebApi.createRecord" but I'm getting the Following error

"An error occurred while validating input parameters: Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Invalid property 'edm_donorid' was found in entity 'Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.edm_bookreceiptdetail'. ---> Microsoft.OData.ODataException: Does not support untyped value in non-open type."

please not that I'm sure that the field 'edm_donorid' exists in the form.

 

 var data =
                        {
                            "edm_donorid": {
                                "logicalname": "contact",
                                "id":   result["_edm_donorid_value"]
                            } 
                           
                        };
                        opener.Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("edm_bookreceiptdetail", data).then(
                            function success(record) {
                                console.log("record created with ID: "   record.id);
                                // perform operations on record creation
                            },
                            function (error) {
                                console.log(error.message);
                                // handle error conditions
                            }
                        );

    Hello,

    Thank you all for your replies and your answers. I found the problem and I fixed it.

    "cannot find record to be updated" error comes when I disregarded to fill a field that that have a relation with another entity.

    so, make sure to fill every mandatory field or fields related to any other entities when you create an entity record using JS.

    best regards,

    Amer Azzam,

    Hi Amer,

    Based on the code "result["_edm_donorid_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.associatednavigationproperty";", you retrieved another entity to get customer field value to create new records, Right?

    I test with following code, which run successfully.

    function createRecords(executionContext) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    Xrm.WebApi.online.retrieveRecord("incident", "5dda2b2e-d785-4474-b324-6225d4931000", "?$select=_customerid_value").then(
        function success(result) {
            var entity = {};
            var type = result["_customerid_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.associatednavigationproperty"];
            if (type == "customerid_contact") {
                entity["parentcustomerid_contact@odata.bind"] = "/contacts("   result["_customerid_value"]   ")";
            }
            else if (type == "customerid_account") {
                entity["parentcustomerid_account@odata.bind@odata.bind"] = "/accounts("   result["_customerid_value"]   ")";
            }

            Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("contact", entity).then(
                function success(record) {
                    console.log("record created with ID: "   record.id);
                    // perform operations on record creation
                },
                function (error) {
                    console.log(error.message);
                    // handle error conditions
                }
            );
        },
        function (error) {
            Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);
        }
    );
}

    Can you provide full code and more details of your scenario.

    Or you can try to use power automate(https://us.flow.microsoft.com/en-us/) not code to create new records, which may be achieved more easily.

    Use the Add a new row action to add a new row in Microsoft Dataverse.

    Please, don't create a new thread with exactly the same name - it is confusing.

    Either close the thread marking the answer or keep adding new replies to the existing thread if something doesn't work/you need more details.

    Merging those 3 threads you created.

    I was trying to Create an entity record using "Xrm.WebApi.createRecord" but I'm getting the Following error.

    "cannot find record to be updated"

    please not  that the field 'edm_donorid' exists in the form and the ID that I'm using to fill the fill also exists in the contacts.

                          var entity = {};
                       var type= result["_edm_donorid_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.associatednavigationproperty"];
                       if(type== "edm_DonorID_contact")
                       {
                        entity["edm_DonorID_contact@odata.bind"] = "/contacts("   result["_edm_donorid_value"]   ")";
                       }
                       else if(type== "edm_DonorID_account")
                       {
                        entity["edm_DonorID_account@odata.bind"] = "/accounts("   result["_edm_donorid_value"]   ")";
                       }

                        opener.Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("edm_bookreceiptdetail", entity).then(
                            function success(record) {
                                console.log("record created with ID: "   record.id);
                                // perform operations on record creation

    hello,

    I fixed the error.

    the field that i was trying to fill is of Type "Customer" and not "Lookup" so  i fixed that by using the following code.

                           var entity = {};
                       var type= result["_edm_donorid_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.associatednavigationproperty"];
                       if(type== "edm_DonorID_contact")
                       {
                        entity["edm_DonorID_contact@odata.bind"] = "/contacts("   result["_edm_donorid_value"]   ")";
                       }
                       else if(type== "edm_DonorID_account")
                       {
                        entity["edm_DonorID_account@odata.bind"] = "/accounts("   result["_edm_donorid_value"]   ")";
                       }

    Hi Amer,

    This is caused because in your request you had the wrong field name, you need use the schema name of the lookup field followed by the bind annotation.

    How to fix getting “Undeclared Property Error” when using Lookups with Dynamics 365 Web API - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Community

    Go Settings > Customizations > Customize the System > Entities > select the entity you need > Fields to find the lookup field.

    If it still doesn't work, you can refer following link to append the entity name to the schema name:

    An undeclared property ‘new_bulkadjustment’ which only has property annotations in the payload but no property value was found in the payload. – Mohammed Hameed Hussain

    Hi Amer Azzam,

    "edm_donorid" is your logical name, right? If so, please change it to schema name to have a try.

    You could find it here:
