I have seen an error recently with the CDS API when updating existing item in an entity when you have a field in the Patch request (so far I can only figure out 'msdyn_subject'). I'm testing out to update an existing item from the out of the box Project entity (msdyn_project).
This is the error I received:
{
"error": {
"code": "0x80040265",
"message": "We’re sorry. You cannot directly do 'Update' operation to 'msdyn_project'. Try editing it through the Resource editing UI in Dynamics or via Project."
}
}
I tried to do the PATCH request via Postman, and if I removed the 'msdyn_subject' field from the request, the API works just fine. Anybody experiencing this issue?
For reference: (Highlighted below is the problematic field)
