"An item with the same key has already been added" error while publishing an entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by surajcs55 58

We are in the process of upgrading our application from CRM 4.0 to CRM 2015 and currently in CRM 2013. While trying to publish the JavaScript changes for one of the main entity, we are receiving this error and the publish fails. We checked most of the posts regarding similar issue and tried out all the options. But nothing resolves the issue.

Since this is one of the main entity of the application, it has around 600 attributes and 100+ relationships. Recreating the entity would be difficult.

Service Pack 1 installation succeeded but the database updates failed. While trying to update the organization through Deployment Manager, the wizard throws the same error. Below is the stack trace from deployment manager.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Based on the stack trace, it appears that you have added the same value for more then one option for the optionset. As you are on CRM 2013, you can write some sql statements to identify if there are any duplicate values in the stringmap table.

    Hope it helps.

    Hi Ravi,

    Thanks for the quick turn around.

    There are no duplicate values in the StringMap table for any of the attributes. We checked the Javascript also for all the optionset transactions. The only operation we are performing is 'setValue' and 'removeOption'.

    Is there any way to figure out for which attribute this error occurs?

    Hi,

    As it is a main entity, try to check if there are any auto number fields like Quote Number,Case number etc. by default system will prevent pushing same value into these fields.

    -Sreevalli

  • surajcs55 Profile Picture

    No Sreevalli. There is an entity which gets auto incremented. That one is working fine currently. No issues there.

    Since the issue with javascript changes, try removing the suspected functions and keep trying to publish. once we get the function which causing issue, then it will be more easy to spotout the field.

    I know its heard for the key entities with lots for customization but I couldnt see any other way

  • surajcs55 Profile Picture
    surajcs55 58 on at

    I commented the entire JavaScript code and tried publishing the entity. Still the error remains :(

    Any idea why?

    Hi,

    I am pretty sure it is not related to your JavaScript as it is coming from server while performing changes(insterting new record) to stringmap.

    You mentioned in your post that you are currently on CRM 2013. Can you check if you asyn service is running? There was a bug which fixed in update 2.0 with the same error message-

    support.microsoft.com/.../update-rollup-2-for-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2013-service-pack-1

    This is not directly related to your issue but it is possible that it is a bug in the current version of your CRM 2013 which is fixed in later updates. I would suggest to download/apply the latest update for CRM 2013 and then try again.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Ravi,

    The async service is up and running. We had installed all the updates for 2013. However for all the updates, we are getting a error "The Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server Service Pack 1 (KB2963850) completed successfully. However, the database update failed for some organizations".

    The same error "item with same key" is thrown in all the log files for the updates.

    Anything that can be done from the database side? Please advise.

    Okay, this confirm that it is related to your version. If you go to deployment manager, do you updates available for the organization. If yes, can you click and see if you can update the database. Its been long I logged into CRM server but I guess the option si somewhere on the right side to update.
