Hi All,
Requirement - I have an entity which has a field A (Data type - Integer) and need to update the field B value on Account entity. Plugin is triggering on Create- Post operation but not on Update. Created Post Image with filtering attributes and added on step as well which is not working. neither triggering nor giving an error. looks like something is missing.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi Ashwin,
You need to create two steps both update, create message of the entity. In addition you need to register both pre-image and post image to check the differences whether Accounts lookup updated or not by getting value from pre and post image. Don't forget to check null when you get the pre-image as for Create message you wont get pre-image , you will get only on update case.
plugin needs to trigger on Loyalty score update, account is a lookup field on Loyalty entity which contains loyalty score. Every time loyalty score gets updated it should trigger.
Please make sure when your plugin get trigger:
On Loyalty score or on Account update.
You will get fields that has been updated in Target.
If you need fields that are not updated then you have to use Pre-post images.
Plugin is triggering on Account field update but not on the other filed. i want it to trigger on loyaltyscore field.
No, post image for account as it is not updating.
Thanks for your help...
But account field will not be updated on the record. Other field which is loyalty score will gets updated and plugin should trigger.
Post Image i need to add only loyalty score field, correct?
Your code is fine. Just Update below line:
Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
Entity postImageEntity=(Entity)context.PostEntityImages["PostImage"];
Guid loyid = new Guid(entity.Id.ToString());
if (!postImageEntity.Attributes.Contains("account") )
{
return;
}
accountid = ((EntityReference)postImageEntity.Attributes["account"]).Id;
Also make sure that You must register Post image through plugin registration tool.

are you trying to check if this trigger from account entity? if yest ,you should
if (entity.LogicalName != "account") return;
Additional , you also can put extra checking to differentiate the code for create and update.
Account field contains data, during update Account will not update. plugin should trigger on another field update which is not happening. On create it is working fine
Hi,
When you test with update, did you update the "account" field as well? is this "account" field contain data?
If you do not update "account" field during update. Below code is the root cause,
if (!entity.Attributes.Contains("account"))
return;
