Update Existing OData Entity with New Property

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi All,

I'm trying to update an existing OData resource to add a new property. I want an additional text field in the entity, and I've been using CRM REST Builder and I'm unsure if I can use it to accomplish this, or even if what I'm attempting is sensical.

Things I have tried:

  • Update/Create with the entity I want to update as the Primary Entity. This just updates or creates an existing instance of the entity
  • Update with "Entity" as the primary entity. The attributes I can choose from are indeed properties the entity I wish to update has, but with no option to add one which is not in the dropdown list.

Is there some other way I should be trying to alter this entity? Or is there a way to do this with CRM REST Builder, and I just haven't found it yet?

Thanks!

Jared Leonard

    Hi Jared.Leonard,

    I'm unfamiliar with CRM REST Builder but you could refer to this doc to create a text column on the entity:
