Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to update a field with old and new values using plugin.
For example i have a field on my case form named "Title",
so the title already contains the old value = "Sham",
and i want to append the new value ="Ram" with the old value "Sham".
Finally the revised title should be "Sham Ram".
Can i achieve this functionality using Plugin.
Thanks for your time ,
Please help me to achieve this functinality.
Hi Jakkani,
It is possible to use plug-in to append new and old value to a field.
You could refer to the following code.

//Set the update entity
Entity case= new Entity("case");
case.Id = Id;//you should get the record id first
case.Attributes["Title"] ="Ram"+case.Attributes["Title"];//splicing string
//Update
service.Update(parententity);
In addition, I recommend another OOB method through workflow.
You could set up a workflow when you update the record and set the action to "append with".
Hope it helps.

Yes, you can achieve it by plugin, workflow and java script.
But you need to make sure that how this value get append: Actually plug-in and java script get trigger on event like create, update etc.
If you want to update this value manually then go for workflow. You can take help from below link:
Hi,
If you don't want to use Plugins, then you can also achieve this by creating 2 real time workflow which triggers on before & after field update. The before workflows, sets the old value in some temp field and after workflow sets the name from the temp field and the new name field.
Something similar to this but instead using 2 workflows-www.powerobjects.com/.../real-time-workflow-capturing-pre-and-post-values
Post any issues here if you try this.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
You can do that. You should do pre-operation plugin that will get "new" value from "Target" of InputParameters and "old" value from Pre-Image, concatenate and put it back to "Target". My recommendation - start doing it and if you experience issues just post your progress here. Here is where you can start - docs.microsoft.com/.../sample-create-basic-plugin
