Posted on by Mona Chavan 255

Hi All,

I am trying to set owner as a Team when creating a contact using web service which is connecting to CRM.

tried below line in code.

contact["ownerid"] = new EntityReference("team", new Guid("940BD8EF-4B13-E711-80FF-5065F38A4A21")); 

but

its setting as the CRM's current login user.

can anyone help me.

    Agree with @Ravi Kashyap. Try to assign record https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.crm.sdk.messages.assignrequest?view=dynamics-general-ce-9

    Hi,

    I thinkt this is because changing owner on the create message is not allowed. Instead you need to use assign request once the record is created.

    Hope this helps.
