RE: retrieve parent id in field using plugins

Hi Suchisuch,

You could do this with real time workflow. If you still want to do this using plugin, have you tried anything yet? The high level changes would be as follows-

1. Retrieve the executing entity from Input Parametrs i.e. Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

2. Check if the entity contains parent account i.e. entity.Contains("parentaccountid")

3. If it contains then again retrieve that account record i.e. service.Retrieve("account", <guid of the parent account>, newColumnSet(true));

4. After retrieving the paraent account details, update the details to the account field

5. If no parent account the directly update the field with account field.

Hope this helps.
