Update Connection Name field on Connection entity

Posted on by 1,090

Hi,

I wrote a plugin to update the name field of the connection entity upon create and update of the connection record.

The plugin seems to fire (I've thrown an exeception to verify), but the name does not get updated.

Is this again some "special" field of crm that you cannot modify?

I also tried updating in Post plugin, but no success.

    Yes, we tried pre-val also. Customer adjusted their requirements so it's not necessary anymore. But thanks guys (and girls) for the feedback :)

    Hi Roel

    Have you tried to put and register as the pre validation plugin?

    It works for the Case ID field.

    Meanwhile the pre only not the pre validation didnt work well for case entity.

    Not sure it would work as well but you might try it.

    Thanks

    Nope, it's not possible. Only work-around would be to "update" the name in the retrieve plugin.

    Hi Roel Goens,

    Update the plugin on "Pre-operation" and on which field you are write a condition try to update that field only.

    For example if you write a code like

    if (entity.Attributes.Contains("new_name"))

    {

    entity.Attributes["new_name"] = "shivaram";

    }

    Then modify any name and try to save that form then CRM Changed that name to "shivaram" Automatically.

    Because If you update any value then  CRM stores that particular value and it automatically set remaining all values as null.

    And It is not recognized that value.So PreImage and PostImage Concepts come to the picture.

    You can register PreImage. I know this is little bit confused.But try to debug your plugin.Then you can understand the scenario.
