Hi,

I am creating a record of Appointment activity entity using web API. where I am setting the value of Organizer field. However, the record is creating without setting the organizer field. Below is my code.

var activityParties = [];
var party1 = {};
party1["partyid_systemuser@odata.bind"] = "/systemusers(" + Xrm.Page.Context.getUserId().replace("{", "").replace("}", "") + ")";
party1["participationtypemask"] = 7; //for organizer
activityParties.push(party1);
parameters["appointment_activity_parties"] = activityParties;

The above object(parameter") passing to create records using web API.

I tried the same code for my custom activity entity and it is setting the value.

Please help me to set the organizer field using web api for acivity entity.

Thanks,

Hi partner,

"Organizer" is not a lookup field, it's a partylist field which renders as a lookup field but it only represents a person or group associated with an activity.

We need to craete a "activity parties" object and put the organizer data in it and then create the new record.

function createAppointment(){

    //get systemuerid

    var id = Xrm.Page.context.getUserId();

    id=id.substring(1,id.length-1);

    //create activity parties object

    var parties = [];

    var organizer = {};

    organizer["partyid_systemuser@odata.bind"] = "/systemusers(" + id + ")";

    organizer["participationtypemask"] = 7; //organizer

    parties.push(organizer);

    var data={

        "subject":"associatedTest",

        "appointment_activity_parties":parties,

        "scheduledstart":new Date(),

        "scheduledend":new Date()

    };

    Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("appointment", data).then(

        function success(result) {

            console.log("appointment created with ID: " + result.id);

            // perform operations on record creation

        },

        function (error) {

            console.log(error.message);

            // handle error conditions

        }

    );

}

And the "participationtypemask" should be "7" as organizer, you could find the list here.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/developer/activityparty-entity

And we could see that I created an appointment named "assoicatedTest" successfully.

About more information for ActivityParty, you could refer to the following links.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customerengagement/on-premises/developer/activityparty-entity

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/web-api/activityparty?view=dynamics-ce-odata-9

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Leo

$.ajax({

type: "POST",

url: url,

contentType: "application/json;charset=utf-8",

beforeSend: function (xhr) {

xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");

xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");

xhr.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");

xhr.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");

xhr.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "return=representation");

},

dataType: "json",

data: jsonEntity,

success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {

successCallback(id, record, inNotes);

},

error: function (error) {

errorCallback();

}

});

Please help me to understand the error.

Hi partner,

Please check your url format like single quotes. And where did you call this api? In D365 or outside D365?

You could get some details from the error 400 response in browser development tool(F12).

And if you are using D365 V9.X, you could try the "Xrm.webapi" I showed before, it is more convenient.

Best Regards,

Leo
