How to create a unique identifier for a custom entity?
*This post is locked for comments
When you create a custom entity, the primary key will automatically be created. If you're creating an instance of that entity and want to specify the primary key, it would be something like this:
Entity entity = new Entity("new_test");
entity.Attributes["new_testid"] = new Guid("688008C8-F95D-4158-BAB2-A3F695D7BEEF");
Hope this helps! I'd appreciate it if you'd mark this as a Verified answer.
Thanks,
Aiden
Hi Shiva
By default a custom entity created already had the guid as unique identifier.
If you want to create like a code to make this more readable and unique then yes you need a auto numbering to prevent any duplicate.
Thanks

For UID on each new record create, Create one new custom entity for this specific feature with one field on this form(Integer Type). Initialize this record with 1. On each record save increment this number by one and assign he same to the new record. Let me know if more details required on this.
Thank you Gaurav
