Correct way to update (add or remove) the parties in ActivityParties against an activity (like PhoneCall) using JavaScript and WebApi?

Hi all

Can anyone point me to some decent resource on how to add or remove parties from an existing ActivityParties collection?

So far I've managed to read the existing collection from CRM, but if I simply add another party to that array and try PATCH, I get "CRM do not support direct update of Entity Reference properties, Use Navigation properties instead". If I create a new collection/array with just my new party in to and PATCH, it overwrites the existing collection with my new one. Now I'm looking into rebuilding the collection, but the returned collection doesn't have an indication of which entity the party is coming from, so I can't rebuild the odata binding?

Any help or pointers would be appreciated?

Thanks

James

Did you ever figure this out? There's plenty of examples using the SDK or adding parties with the activity but I'm trying to figure out what JSON to send to add parties to an existing activity.

This is what I'm posting to api/data/v9.0/activityparties

{"activityid_activitypointer@odata.bind": "/activitypointers(898e208c-d786-e911-b811-005056990ea4)", "partyid_account@odata.bind": "/accounts(dd487ae7-c66d-e911-b80e-005056990ea4)","participationtypemask": 4}

Which results in:

    "error": {
        "code": "0x80040800",
        "message": "The 'Create' method does not support entities of type 'activityparty'.",

Hi,

You just need to get the existing partylist and store it first in a variable(array) this will contain an array of objects. Once you get that you can then push the new parties(as object) in your variable array. Then update the partylist field with this variable.

See these links for sample
