FYI.

public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) { ITracingService tracer = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService)); IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext)); IOrganizationServiceFactory factory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory)); IOrganizationService service = factory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId); try { //step 1 Entity targetEntity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"]; //step 2 get value EntityReference contactEr = targetEntity.GetAttributeValue("new_contact"); //step 3 set value Entity newEntity = new Entity(targetEntity.LogicalName); newEntity[""] = new EntityReference(contactEr.LogicalName, contactEr.Id); } catch (Exception e) { throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(e.Message); } }

Hello Mukhan1833,

you can refer this code for Get Value of Lookup fields

EntityReference entref = (EntityReference)item.Attributes[attributeName]; var LookupId = entref.Id; var logicalName = entref.LogicalName; Set Value of Lookup fields newAccount[attributeName] = new EntityReference(logicalName, LookupId);

Or you can refer this site for GET/SET of all datatype.

Hi mukhan1833,

Below is the sample code:

Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

if (entity.LogicalName == "new_xyz") //entity logical name

{

if (entity.Attributes.Contains("new_abc")) //Lookup field logical name

{

EntityReference lookupObj = (EntityReference)entity.Attributes["new_abc"];

name = lookupObj.Name;

Guid id = lookupObj.Id;

}

}

Or you can use below link for refernece.
