RE: Entity Id must be specified for Update

Hi Tin Lat,

Please check the event pipeline that you register for this step. Please change to Pre-Operation, because if you are using post-operation, this record has been change to Close, you cannot update it.

And 1 note, You have add OpportunityId to your code, I do not see this line code.

entity.Attributes["opportunityid"] = "YourId"

Regards,

RE: Entity Id must be specified for Update

Hi Tin,

Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

You just get from entity["Attribute"] or you can get from context like ((Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"]).Id

Hi Tin,

Can you provide the entire trace you received (you can download the log file on error and that should have it). Also, I do not think you will need to explicitly specify the id for the entity since you are updating the same entity and the context will already have an id specified.

RE: Entity Id must be specified for Update

Hi,

I would advise you to register your plugin on win message.

The way for you to get the Id of the opportunity it described in this link:

simplicitypoint.wordpress.com/.../getting-the-opportunity-entity-in-plugin-when-closing-as-won

After you have the Id of your opportunity you are able to update it.
