Hello Techies,

I have a pre-validate plugin for duplicate detection.

based on the criterion if there is duplicate records found, I want to stop the record creation without throwing the Invalid Plugin Execution Exception.

Thanks in Advance.

RE: Stop record creation from Pre-validate Plugin without throwing exception

Hello,

Long time ago.....I have the same requirement myself - I don't know if you got a better solution (let me know, please, if you did) - my workaround was to write a value "DUPE" to a custom field on prevalidation then have an oncreate workflow to check the value of the custom field - if it is "DUPE" then deactivate the record immediately.

Best wishes,

- Seamus

Hi There,

Can't you simply use "return;"?

as in :

if( records matched)

return;

not sure how your code is structured, but try this.

Hello Anand,

looks like that is the only alternate and no other feasibility from code side.

Thanks,

Hi Viswanath,

You have to throw Invalid Plugin Execution Exception to revert record creation in crm. This is how Plugin pipeline works.

Would it be possible to validate create/update record in external system itself.

Thanks,

Anand

If you don't want to get error stopper. Actually the easiest way is doing this one:

try{

service.Create(entity);

}

catch(Exception ex){

//Surpress the error weather got problem or not

}

Hello Adrian,

I have written some duplicate detection code and if I found records I want to stop execution without throwing exception, which mean record shouldnt get created.

If you are from external exe, actually you can wrap the code using block try and catch to surpress the error if you've got error unique right? It should be got error if you still want to have unique data insert into your system and not creating the error. It means that your code works normally.
