Posted on by AM-12021631-0 8
Hello,
 
I have created a workflow that throws an error when user try to delete other's notes, using a CWA and a Stop Workflow Step.
The issue I am facing is that the when testing, the displayed message is not correct

Details:


Can you help me?
 
Funny enough, I had the same problem using plugin with the code below:
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query;
using System;

public class PreventAnnotationDeletion : IPlugin
{
    public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
    {
        IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
        IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
        IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

        if (context.MessageName.ToLower() != "delete" || context.PrimaryEntityName.ToLower() != "annotation")
            return;

        Guid annotationId = context.PrimaryEntityId;
        Entity annotation = service.Retrieve("annotation", annotationId, new ColumnSet("ownerid", "createdby"));

        if (annotation != null)
        {
            EntityReference owner = annotation.GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("ownerid");
            EntityReference createdBy = annotation.GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("createdby");

            if (owner.Id != createdBy.Id)
            {
                throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("Deletion is not allowed. The owner and the created by fields do not match.");
            }
        }
    }
}

    Hi @wimkringsapg, you're definetly right, it was the first version of the code.

    However, after changing that the issue stayed the same.

    Also, big update: it seems like it's not about the code: I have managed to have the same problem with the following code!
     
    It seems like there's something hidden that's causing that.

    Hi,
    your requirement says that a user is not allowed to delete the notes of another user (if I am understand this correct).
    But in your code you are checking the owner of the annotation against the creator of the annotation...... did somehow the deleting-user became the owner of the annotation?? Otherwise I don't understand this comparison.  I think that you would compare the current user to the owner of the record.
     
    regards, Wim

    Hey @Ali Hamza, thanks for the response.
     
    I've tried to do like you said but no luck.
     
    Regarding CWA, I just implemented same logic of the plugin, but instead of throwing an exception from the plugin I return a boolean to the workflow that tells whether to throw the error or not.
     
    Here's last code version: 
    using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Workflow;
using System;
using System.Activities;

public class CheckAnnotationCreator : CodeActivity
{
    [Input("Annotation Created By")]
    [ReferenceTarget("systemuser")]
    public InArgument<EntityReference> AnnotationCreatedBy { get; set; }

    [Input("Annotation Object Id")]
    [ReferenceTarget("incident")]
    public InArgument<EntityReference> AnnotationObjectId { get; set; }

    [Output("Is Same User")]
    public OutArgument<bool> IsSameUser { get; set; }

    protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext executionContext)
    {
        ITracingService tracingService = executionContext.GetExtension<ITracingService>();
        IWorkflowContext context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();

        try
        {
            tracingService.Trace("CheckAnnotationCreator: Execute started.");

            EntityReference createdBy = AnnotationCreatedBy.Get(executionContext);
            EntityReference objectId = AnnotationObjectId.Get(executionContext);

            if (createdBy == null || objectId == null || objectId.LogicalName != "incident")
            {
                tracingService.Trace("CheckAnnotationCreator: Invalid input parameters.");
                IsSameUser.Set(executionContext, false);
                return;
            }

            tracingService.Trace($"CheckAnnotationCreator: Created By ID - {createdBy.Id}, User ID - {context.UserId}");

            bool isSameUser = createdBy.Id == context.UserId;
            IsSameUser.Set(executionContext, isSameUser);

            tracingService.Trace($"CheckAnnotationCreator: Is Same User - {isSameUser}");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            tracingService.Trace($"CheckAnnotationCreator: Exception - {ex.Message}");
            throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An error occurred in the CheckAnnotationCreator workflow activity.", ex);
        }
    }
}

    Hi, 
     
    Are you firing plugin on Pre-operation or Post?
     
    I believe in delete message we can't do retrieve through this approach, I think trying with PreImage and getting desired fields from it will help.
     
    For WF and custom WF, I am not sure what's happening there, if you are doing retrieval there as well, then passing the fields values using WF parameters may help resolving the error. 
     
    Thanks
    Regards
    Ali
