OptionSetValue not set to an instance of an object

Hello,

I am creating a plugin for Dynamics 365 using c#, however, I am facing issues using InArgument<OptionSetValue> I am referencing the correct entity and the correct field. 5238.unknown.png

I get the value of the OptionSet as follows

However, when I try to trigger any method on the OptionSetOne

I always trigger an error in Dynamics 365.

This is my form data and the UI of the Dynamics 365 obviously recognizes that there is a OptionSet.

Hello,

Make sure that the name of the entity new_getsettings is correct and the field post_settings exists in this entity.

The names match precisely. Something else must be the reason why I am getting a null.

I'd like to add that I set the values in the workflow as shown but I get a null instead of the OptionSetValue in the c# code.

Did you try

OptionSetValue optionSet = OptionSetOne.Get<OptionSetValue>(executingContext).Value;

Did you try with other values for the optionset1 input parameter?

Other optionsets input parameters are working fine?

Hi Hristo

Your error message clearly states that your OptionSetOne.Get.. returns null so there is no optionSet value being set for the input parameter.

If you are entity and field names are correct, its where you are setting the value to the parameter in the workflow the issue is.

Could you try and set a default value and see if the object is still null

OptionSetValue

[Input("OptionSet1")]

[AttributeTarget("new_getsettings", "post_settings")]

[Default("3")] // Plesae set your default value here

public InArgument<OptionSetValue> OptionSetOne { get; set; }

I have one question though, how come your entity name has new_ prefix but your option set prefix is post_ , are you directly using the global option set name, you have to use the entity field name. make sure you use the entity attribute name.

Let us know if you still get the error

Hi Hristo,

Do remember that if you make any changes to input/ output parameter after registering the assembly then the changes will not take place unless you unregister the assembly and then register it again. I would suggest to unregister the assembly and then register it again and see if it works.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Add Context.depth check

if (context.Depth > 1)

return;

also check if any other triggers, if you believe that the entity and attribute names are correct.
