Hi Experts,

I'm facing 400 error while creating a custom entity record using CRM web API.

The problem is passing data for lookup fields. tried changing different formats of json object for lookups, but no luck.

Format 1:

entity.primarycontactid = {
            Id: "ba121cbc-6a41-e611-80e0-c4346bc58294",
            LogicalName: "contact"
        };

Format 2:

var entity = {};

entity["account@odata.bind"] = "/accounts("ba121cbc-6a41-e611-80e0-c4346bc58294")";

entity["pricelist@odata.bind"] = "/pricelevels("ba121cbc-6a41-e611-80e0-c4346bc58294")";

Other fields works fine.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for the help guys!

I have resolved the issue, it was that, i need to give schema name(pre_Account) for fields rather than logical name(pre_account).

Thanks and Regards

Sardar Ahmed.

Hi Sardar, There are times when the REST builder also will fail especially for Custom entity lookups. Download Odata Metadata (Developer Resources) and copy the exact attribute name from that .

Thanks.

Hi Sardar,

Its easy to create your code using RestBuilder , just download it and import the solution. You will find a button like ribbon work bench in solution area .

Click on the CRM rest builder button and select your entity , attributes and click on create request. This will give you the auto generate code.
