Hello,

is it possible to pass a EntityCollection to a custom action logic? This

[RequiredArgument]
[Input("Sales Order")]
[ReferenceTarget("salesorder")]
public InArgument SalesOrders { get; set; }

or that

[RequiredArgument]
[Input("Sales Order")]
[ReferenceTarget("salesorder")]
public InArgument SalesOrders { get; set; }

leads to this error message in the registration process:

2275.2020_2D00_02_2D00_05-10_5F00_13_5F00_01_2D00_Publishing-Error.png

Sending the EntityCollection (as input argument) from the Javascript logic to the CRM process (custom action) works so far. But I need to send that data to be passed to the C# logic (workflow).

I have the same question (0)

EntityCollection is not supported in this case. Please check the doc: docs.microsoft.com/.../gg327984(v=crm.8)

The following types are supported for custom workflow activities: Bool, DateTime, Decimal, Double, EntityReference, Int, Money, OptionSetValue, String.

Hello Mehdi,

thanks for your answer. This means I have to send the selected entities from the frontend (JS, REST) one by one as EntityReference and there is no better/performant way?

Thanks,

Bernhard

you're welcome. you can pass a string wish contains a list of Guids. Something like: "{xxxx,yyyy,zzzz}".

In the back-end, split the string and get the Ids.
