Entity mapping and plugin

Posted on by Vaibhav Jaiswal 100

Hi All ,

I have following scenario:-

Lets say i have two entity  A  with look up A and entity B with look up B on it.

Entity A form has a subgird of entity B.  When we create entity B record from subgrid , we have a mapping in place which is copies the value of look up A (Entity A) to look up B (Entity B).

Now as per my functionality i am writing my plugin on create of entity B in which i am making the value of look up B to null in some conditions.

Plugin is working fine if we are  creating entity B record  from other than subgrid. But if we are creating entity B record from subgrid , the look up B value is not setting to null. It is setting as per entity mapping

Is there anyway i can make look up B value to null  in my plugin ?

    Is your plugin being executed? When you add the record through the subgrid, the plugin is only executed after you press save. The mapping is something that is being executed when the forms opens.

    Hi Vaibhav,

    Please also share the plugin code to see how you are setting it to null. Also I am assuming that you are creating a new record from subgrid and not associating an existing record?

    Hi Vaibhav,

    Can you share details about your plugin registration steps and share your code here ?? I think you need to run your plugin on post create.
