Hi,

Assuming you have array that you want to use to create custom entity record ? if yes you can loop through the length of the array and can use create method for your entity something like this

for(int i=0; i<array.Lenght; i++)

{

Entity customEntity=new Entity("your entityname");

customEntity["yourcustomentityfield"]=array[i]; //you need different syntax for different data type

crmservice.Create(customEntity);

}

Please check SDK for more details, let me know if my understanding is not correct.

Keep in mind there is no use of Executemultiple request in plugin, as plugin use executemultiple request internally in case your plugin runs under transactions.

Yes, for child records you need to set entity reference like below

customEntity[“referencefieldname”]=new EntityReference(“opportunity”,entity.id);
