Hello,
What is the error message that you are receiving? Can you please share it?
Where is your plugin registered?
opp1["opportunityid"] = myLookupId.Id;
this part should be:
opp1["opportunityid"] = myLookupId;
(You need to set a EntityReference, not the GUID)
You can use this:
Entity myEntityHavingLookup = service.Retrieve("account", entity.Id, new ColumnSet(true));
myEntityHavingLookup.Attributes["<YourLookupSchemaName>"] = new EntityReference("<LookupEntitySchemaName>", <LookupRecordGuid>);
Where :
1. YourLookupSchemaName : the schema name of the lookup field on your account entity
2. LookupEntitySchemaName: the schema name of the entity for the lookup field
3. LookupRecordGuid: the Guid of the record you want to set in the lookup field
