Getting Following exception while trying to create a clone.

Edit EntityState must be set to null, Created (for Create message) or Changed (for Update message)

Following is the code snippet, please suggest I am missing here ?

    public static Guid getParentSurveyClone(IOrganizationService service, acn_myEntity parentEntity)        {                      
            try
            {
                //The bool parameter passed to Clone method is set to true by default.
                var childEntity = parentEntity.Clone(true);
                childEntity.SetAttributeValue("name", "Child-" + parentEntity.name + "-" + DateTime.Now.ToString());
                //Remove all the attributes of type primaryid as all the cloned records will have their own primaryid
                childEntity.Attributes.Remove(childEntity.LogicalName + "id");
                //create the cloned record
                childEntity.EntityState = EntityState.Changed;
                var childSurveyId = service.Create(childEntity);

            }
            catch (SaveChangesException ex)

            {

                throw ex;

            }
        }

Hi

When you are creating, you do not need to do this unless you are using DbContex

childEntity.EntityState = EntityState.Changed; - this can be removed

And in your remove attribute code it cannot have Status and Status reasons that are read only or inactive ones

Try removing status and status reason from the attributes to see if it still fails

childEntity.Attributes.Remove("statuscode");

childEntity.Attributes.Remove("statecode");

Remove childEntity.EntityState = EntityState.Changed; from your code.

Hi Shubh,

Try this,

public static Guid getParentSurveyClone(IOrganizationService service, acn_myEntity parentEntity) { try { //The bool parameter passed to Clone method is set to true by default. var childEntity = parentEntity.Clone(true); childEntity.SetAttributeValue("name", "Child-" + parentEntity.name + "-" + DateTime.Now.ToString()); //Remove all the attributes of type primaryid as all the cloned records will have their own primaryid childEntity.Attributes.Remove(childEntity.LogicalName + "id"); childEntity.Attributes.Remove("statecode"); childEntity.Attributes.Remove("statuscode"); //create the cloned record var childSurveyId = service.Create(childEntity); } catch (SaveChangesException ex) { throw ex; } }

Hi Shubh,

Yeah, I saw it later there are loading issues with community pages :D

Then as a tip, after removing try adding statecode and statuscode with desired optionsvalues

childEntity.statuscode = 1;

childEntity.statecode = 0;
