On Create Plugin triggers and Update field twice

Hi all,

I have plugin on creation of entity and based on some option set it updates positive value to negative value , (eg: value = 1800 on creation from UI and plugin triggers and updates it to negative value = -1800 , this is logic for this

But in one case it updated from 1800 to -1800 and again updated back to positive 1800 so by logic it should not happen

Things i have already tried

1. No Dependency on that field with other plugins/workflows

2. No script changes after saving record

3. Field is a whole number and range is good enough to perform the action

4. by audit history record got updated twice from 1800 to -1800 (actual) with plugin and again back to -1800 to 1800 (which shouldn't happen) on same minute by same user

5. This issue is not reproducible , last time it was produced was 9 months back

6. it has to be executed in Post operation

Any assistance on this is much appreciated

Hello,

Please seperate your objects, dont perform an update on your target. Create a new object like that:

Entity objToupdate = New Entity (target.LogicalName, target.Id). Please verify the syntax, i m not sure.

Hi Mehdi,

Thanks for the quick response

Here in my case , we have processed more than 10,000 records in past 9 months by updating target but issue was not produced like this

not sure if it because of updating the target fields

Thanks,

I need to know what is object target come from? If the target object come from (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"]. Then better you changed it into:

var updateEntity = new Entity(target.LogicalName) {Id = target.Id};

updateEntity["new_value"] ...

service.Update(updateEntity);

If this one still not correct, then you need to check how's your plugin being trigger. If you're set new_value as its trigger, it will make it always trigger the plugin over and over again.
