    Hello,

    This error will come when you will try to access the fields which is not present in the property beg, not when when you will update them so for example let say processid field is not available in the entity's property beg so if you will try to access this field directly instead of check for null, you will get this error

    var processid=entity.GetAttributeValue<fielddatatype>("fieldname");

    But if you will try to use like below you won't get this error

    if(entity.Contains("fieldname"))  //in this case you won't get error here

    {

    var processid=entity.GetAttributeValue<fielddatatype>("fieldname");

    }

    Now to update you should use like below

    Entity entity=new Entity("entityname");

    entity["primaryfield"]="primarfield"; //this you can get it from the retrieved entity object

    Entity["fieldname"]=value;

    service.Update(entity);

    Mohammad,

    You can check first the field value using

    entity.GetAttributeValue

    or

    entity.Contains("attributename")

    Is that in plugin?

    If yes, can use post image and preimage (depends you want to update in pre event stage or post event stage.

    Because current entity context can be does not contain but preimage might have the value for preupdate and postimage for the post event.

    Thanks
