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

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by surajcs55 50

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.

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

    We contacted Microsoft and the issue got resolved. :)

    Microsoft checked their internal function and noticed that the system is  concatenating a few strings together in order to create a key: entity object type code + Field schema name + option value + language code + option label.

    When the form publish was executed, there were 2 optionset fields that had their options concatenated, resulting in 1 duplicate:

    1) 10023 + new_wire_currencytype + 21 + 1033 + AUD = 10023new_wire_currencytype211033AUD

    2) 10023 + new_wire_currencytype2 + 1 + 1033 + AUD = 10023new_wire_currencytype211033AUD

    Removed one of the option and things started working fine.

    I found this previous post community.dynamics.com/.../130119 which contains a support KB for this same issue. Try this. Do take a back up before running the script.

    support.microsoft.com/.../a-404-error-occurs-when-attempting-to-access-a-microsoft-dynamics-crm

    The below blog also mentioned few tips on handling this error. Take a look if the above doesn't help

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

    Any idea why?

    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
