How to create Entity Refrence in COntact entity to Lean entity?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LeonardBertone 165

My code:

entity["parentleadid"] = new EntityReference("lead", {GUID});
 _crmConnector.service.Update(entity);

entity is Entity  {Contact}

But I have error:

'contact' entity doesn't contain attribute with Name = 'parentleadid' and NameMapping = 'Logical'.

 

What is wrong with it?

 

Thank you

 

UPD.


Code which game me field 'parentleadid':

 medatata has 'EntityMetadata' type

var lookupFields = metadata.Attributes
.Where(c => (
c.AttributeType == AttributeTypeCode.Lookup ||
c.AttributeType == AttributeTypeCode.Customer
))
.ToList();

    Error message is very clear. There’s no attribute in Contact entity with name parentleadid. Either OOB or custom.

    For sure there’s no OOB field with that name.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../contact

    If you have any custom attribute, then check for prefix, for ex new_parentleadid

    Regarding the metadata call, not sure if you are querying the right entity, right filter, right attribute. Share the full code or complete list you re getting in that .ToList() output

    this field 'parentleadid' was given me by SDK when I retrieven entities atrributes.

    Is this way is wrong ?

    Hi,

    There isn't any oob "parentleadid" field on contact, use "originatingleadid" in place of it.
