Is there a way to get the ID of the Record being deleted from the FormAssistant ??

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I am writing a solution for Dynamics CRM 2013 and as part of that, we need to track deletion of Opps/Leads/Contacts/etc.  The path we have selected is to have our own "HistoryRecord" that simply tracks the Object Type and the ObjectGuid.  Our external system can read this table, to keep track of records that have been deleted (as well as cleanup the history records)

The problem is that I need the Record ID of the object being deleted.  So for Opportunity I have been using "{Opportunity(Opportunity)}" and assigning it into my "HistoryRecord.EntityId (String)" field.  However, this always seems to generate "Opportunity" instead of the actual GUID.

Is there a way to get the ID of the Record being deleted from the FormAssistant ??

    Thanks Guys - looks like a custom Plugin is my path forward.

    Getting GUID using the Form Assistant is not possible.

    But, you can use the Custom Assembly that can output the GUID of the record.

    HTH!

    Hi Acid,

    You can write plug-in to use the pre-image Delete messgae, then you can get recordId or any fields of deleted record and save to your custom History entity.
