Field Service Mobile App error message - not able to update Work Order Status

Posted on by 30

Hey Guys,

Currently we are setting up the Woodford Field Service Mobile app. 

My goal is setup a field technician role, which is extended with the Dispatcher role - our customer has the special scenraio, where their field technicians also responsible for dispatching and scheduling their own work orders. 

I used this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/field-service/view-user-accounts-security-roles

So I gave these roles for the user: 

1. App Profile User

2. Field Service - Resource

3. Field Service - Dispatcher

After loging into the Mobile app I open the scheduled work order and trying to change the status from Scheuled to In Progress - this is when I get the error message which I can not figure out how to solve.

here it is:

It also gives the same error message in the desktop version. I tried to copy the dispatcher role and give all the permissions regarding work orders and it's substatuses, but it also didn't work. 

If you know how to solve this issue, let me know! 

thanks!

    Hi partner,

    From the screenshot, the error is “user does not have the msdyn_substatus attribute in the msdyn_workorder entity.

    So the problems are in the work order entity and substatus field, and substatus is lookup field, you need also check work order substatus entity.

    1.substatus field security.

    You said that msdyn_substatus update is set ‘Yes’ in field security profile.

    And you also need check the user you need is added to the same field security profile.

    2.check entity permission of the dispatcher security role.

    Yes, it is marked as Yes - this is not the problem unfortunately.

    Can you make sure that there is a Field Level Security profile against the user with msdyn_substatus 'Update' marked as yes ?
