I am creating a clone of records but getting an error.

Cannot insert duplicate key, although i am using these 2 lines. But still getting error. --> cannot insert duplicate key

entity.Attributes.Remove(entity.LogicalName + "id");
entity.Attributes.Remove("msdyn_name");

service.Create(entity);

Once I use, this additional command no error is coming and all is working good.

entity.Id = Guid.NewGuid();

I just don't understand why is that, also I have read somewhere that creating own guid via code is not good in D365. If i continue with this will it create aproblem in future in my search or any activity in Dynamics.

RE: I am creating a clone of records but getting an error.

I resolved the problem by

entity.Id = Guid.Empty;

now i am not getting any error, i was already doing entity.Attributes.Remove("msdyn_workorderid");

but with this entity.Id = Guid.Empty; problem got resolved

But I am stuck with problem as with copy of record which is work order, associated quotes are getting created which i want to stop. Any Ideas??

Hi,

Please refer to my sample code. I use it in Production for a long time.

IOrganizationService service = crmWorkflowContext.OrganizationService; ITracingService tracing = crmWorkflowContext.TracingService; EntityReference leadToCloneRef = executionContext.GetValue(this.Lead); Entity leadToClone = service.Retrieve(leadToCloneRef.LogicalName, leadToCloneRef.Id, new ColumnSet(true)); Entity clonedLead = new Entity("lead"); foreach (var att in leadToClone.Attributes){ //The fields I don't want to copy if (att.Key != "ownerid" && att.Key != "statuscode" && att.Key != "statecode" && att.Key!= "leadid" && att.Key != "address1_addressid" && att.Key != "address2_addressid"){ clonedLead[att.Key] = att.Value; } } service.Create(clonedLead);

Hi,

You need to remove GUID of the cloned object.

For example:

entity.Attributes.Remove("msdyn_workorderid");

Then, it should create a unique ID for you (when you create the record).

Hi There,

From JS I am calling Action... below is the code of my action.

Below is the code

string entityID = (string)context.InputParameters["SelectedId"];

Entity entity = service.Retrieve("msdyn_workorder", new Guid(entityID), new ColumnSet(true));

entity.EntityState = null;

entity.Attributes.Remove(entity.LogicalName + "id");

entity.Attributes.Remove("msdyn_name");

entity.Id = Guid.NewGuid();

trace.Trace(entity.Id.ToString());

Guid createdWorkOrderID = service.Create(entity);

without this line-> entity.Id = Guid.NewGuid(); my code is not running. and it is suggested that we should not create our own GUID as that impacts the system performance.

service.Create(entity); is the line which will create GUID in system automatically once record get created.
