Hi All,

Receiving below error while creating a custom entity record and its clearly related to BPF, not sure what changes we have done recently. I used Fiddler to troubleshoot, but still see the same message  Any one have any idea, 

Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: Valid participating entity lookup attributes could not be found for  Detail:

    Thanks Andreas Cieslik & Alex Shlega, before posting this question I too though something wrong with fields referred in BPF (it was using single Entity), so I tried to remove the fields but was out of luck and the problem was weird. So do not want to waste more time I created new BPF with same fields which worked fine

    Hi,

     I am thinking of what it could be..

     Are there multiple entities involved in this BPF? Try creating another BPF for the same set of entities and see if you can still do it? As Andreas suggested, maybe some fields have been deleted(although, it might be one of the other involved entities rather than that custom entity itself)..

    "Participating entities are the entities present in the BPF that are different than the entity of the first stage"

    It could be that your BPF uses attributes that have been deleted in the meantime. I would compare the BPFs used attributes with the attributes of your custom entity.
