Hi there,

I'm using the Dynamics REST Web API to try and create + associate an entity per documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/common-data-service/webapi/associate-disassociate-entities-using-web-api

However I am running into an error that I'm struggling to understand.

Here is the request I'm trying to make:

https://drops.tray.io/12uNO5D2

And here is the response I get back from the api:

https://drops.tray.io/yAuYoWYy

Any ideas why I could be getting this error and what this error means?

Thanks,

Ali

Hi,

I would suggest you to use Rest Builder link provided below to generate Rest Web API code. That way you will zero percentage chance of making an error.

github.com/.../releases

It is a managed solution which you can install in your instance.

Please mark my answer verified if I were helpful!

RE: Error when trying to create an association with Create Entity

Hello,

I see few potential issues in your code. Here is the post that I used as an example - stackoverflow.com/.../create-annotation-via-crm-web-api

Question - what type of the record you are trying to create record for - is it regular contact?

Then line with reference should look like following:

'objectid_contact@odata.bind': '/contacts(C5DDA727-B375-E611-80C8-00155D00083F)'

if you have some custom entity with the schema name msdyn_contactpricelist then your line should look like:

'objectid_msdyn_contactpricelist@odata.bind': '/msdyn_contactpricelists(C5DDA727-B375-E611-80C8-00155D00083F)'

Good luck.
