Create PostOperation Plugin is missing Attributes/Fields, but the field is populated in CRM

Posted on by 30

Hello CRM Community,

I would like to ask if you can help me with the following problem, I have a plugin that runs on Create of the Contact entity synchronously, I'm triggering that plugin when importing an excel template, with the columns filled. 

But when I check entity or postImage object, there my field is missing, even though I have it filled in the excel and checked it in the postImage attributes.

Some Notes: When I have a template only with name and those three newly created columns for this plugin, then it works fine, but when I have some more columns on template, the value is missing.

Any ideas why could this be happening?

Thanks in advance

    Hey Abdul,

    Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, it worked as a workflow but had to create the whole thing and it's going to be more time consuming to pass it to another environments and remove that plugin from the other environments, I think.

    A-sync didn't work.

    I've figured out I can do a retrieve of that entity and that field will always will be retrieved, as long as it's populated, like I do in the custom workflow to get the execution entity.

    Workflow
    
    Contact CONTACT_ENTITY = Framework.Retrieve(new EntityReference(Framework.PluginExecutionContext.PrimaryEntityName, Framework.PluginExecutionContext.PrimaryEntityId)).ToEntity();
    
    Plugin 
    
    Contact CONTACT_ENTITY = Framework.Retrieve(entity).ToEntity();

    Hi wYh0iUt 

    Are you facing the same experience when writing a workflow or workflow extension? Please check it will give you a hint whether the issue is in the extension (plugin or workflow) or with an excel template. Also, test your plugin by making it a-synchronous.

    Let me know if I can provide you with more details.

    Thanks
