I have a plugin which is running on entity "X" and it updates records in another entity "Y" from N:N relationship. From the entity "Y" another plugin is triggering on the same update.
Is there any way to get the triggering record ID of "X" from the plugin triggering from "Y" ?.
Thanks in advance.

create a field in Y entity to store X entity ID, update that field only if it trigger from X entity else it will be blank and in your Y entity Plugin you can check the condition If that field value exists,
means it is from X entity and with the help of QueryExpression or Fetch XML your can retrieve value from X entity as you have X entity ID in custom field of Y entity...
Hi Shahbaaz, thanks for the response.
I had a scenario like, in Y entity both direct update and update from 'X' entity are happening(for multiple fields). if it is from X entity i need some values from X entity to do some calc.
Rawish, i have tried but it is not working because , 2 different plugin is running from 2 different entities. I had a scenario like below,
let’s say that we have a plugin that executes when an Account is updated and that this plugin updates associated Contacts. Let’s also say that we have another plugin that gets triggered when the Contact is updated, so we have a case where the Account update plugin triggers this Contact update plugin.(Account and Contact have N:N relation)
So i need the account ID from the plugin triggering in the contact.
Hi Jomy,
You can create a field "X ID" on Y entity and when you update Y entity, update that X ID field with X entity ID.
And also SharedVariables is used to pass data from a pre-event registered plug-in to a post-event registered plug-in.
Thanks,
Shahbaaz
Rawish Kumar , Thank you so much for the instant response . I will try and will update you.
Hello Jomy,
This functionality will be execute as infinite loop in that case you need to check depth and parentexecutioncontext to handle it. For more details you can refer -
crmbusiness.wordpress.com/.../stopping-infinite-plugins-with-parameters-depth-and-parentcontext
msdn.microsoft.com/.../microsoft.xrm.sdk.iexecutioncontext.depth.aspx
If you are associating or dissociating records then you need to use secondary entity in plugin registration tool,

Hope this helps
Generally we use shared variable for these kind of information :
msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg328579.aspx
however in your case since plugin Y is triggering once X is done - not sure if this is possible.Give it a try.
