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.

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
