Add field to response in event

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by CH-11120820-0 99
Hello Dynamics 365 Community,
I need to extend an OData response, when we read an entity. I resently learned about extensions and tried to do it with them. I was also happy that I could hook on the postLoaded event to search for the needed data using select statements.
I have my information now but no clue how to add them to the response. I saw suggestions to add custom fields in extensions, but that is not working for me since I am extending a tableStr. (See my simplified code example below).
For a deeper understanding: I want to extend the Status of an ECO Header to the Response.
 
[ExtensionOf(tableStr(EngChgEngineeringChangeOrderHeaderEntity))]
final class EngChgEngineeringChangeOrderHeaderEntity_Extension
{

    [DataEventHandler(tableStr(EngChgEngineeringChangeOrderHeaderEntity), DataEventType::PostedLoad)]
    public static void EngChgEngineeringChangeOrderHeaderEntity_onPostedLoad(Common _sender, DataEventArgs _eventArgs)
    {
        // Get event data as entity
        EngChgEngineeringChangeOrderHeaderEntity ecoHeaderEntity = _sender as EngChgEngineeringChangeOrderHeaderEntity;
        
        // Perform actions in correct company
        changecompany(ecoHeaderEntity.DataAreaId)
        {
            // Read data from EngChgEcmHeader table (to also read Status)
            EngChgEcmHeader engChgEcmHeader;
            select RecId, Status from engChgEcmHeader
                where engChgEcmHeader.RecId == _sender.RecId;
           
            if (engChgEcmHeader)
            {
                print(engChgEcmHeader.Status);
            }
            
        }
    }

}
 
I am reaching out to you since I have the feeling I am doing something completly wrong. How do you solve something like that?

    The correct solution is easier and better than your current approach. EngChgEcmHeader is already a data source of the entity (e.g. the OrderNumber field is bound to it), therefore you don't any additional select statement and a virtual field. Simply create a data entity extension (of EngChgEngineeringChangeOrderHeaderEntity) and add a new field bound to EngChgEcmHeader.Status). Because the entity supports data management, create also an extension of EngChgEngineeringChangeOrderHeaderStaging table and add a field of the same name (and EDT) there. And that's it; you don't need any code at all.

    Thank you for the quick answer. Maybe I am doing something wrong here. 
    When I am trying to add the field to the data source extension and the staging, my OData fetch request is not working anymore. This is my stacktrace:

    Maybe I am not adding the fields correctly. Is there any documentation/video on how to add these fields?

    Hi,
     
    Did you do full build and Sync database after you added the new field? Also did you refresh entity list?
     
    Check the following link about adding new field to data entity using extension: d365ffo-ax-add-new-field-to-a-data-entity
     
    Also check the following link about refresh entity list: d365-finance-missing-data-entities-refresh-entity-list
     

    Thanks,
