your requirement can be fulfilled using a Rollup field.

Here are some articles which can help you understand about it.

Hi,

Register your plugin on Post create of Subgrid entity -

First retrieve Entity A guid from Target context and then use below.

Now in you plugin logic, you will use fetchxml to find count of the records and then update the count in Entity A.

Subgrid entity will have Entity A lookup.

What if Record is getting deleted from subgrid, do you want to again update the count?

If yes then you may have to write code to do that

Please mark my answer verified if this is helpful!

There are two ways you can use it.

1. Add a rollup field into 'Entity A' to replace the whole number field.

2. To achieve it through the plugin, at post-operation of CREATE message of that subgrid record register the plugin. Count all records and then update the whole number field with a total number of associated records from subgrid.
