Hi,
I have a requirement of creating a custom entity on create of an entity, say incident and copy this entity's data to the custom entity.
There are some date time fields which I need to copy the data to the custom entity.
I don't know the syntax for the same, I am doing this through a plugin, On post create.
Kindly suggest.

//Declare Datetime Variable
DateTime? dateTimeVar = null;
//Retrieve entity from context
Entity _entity = (Entity)_context.InputParameters["Target"];
if (_entity.Attributes.Contains("DateTimeFieldName"))
{
if (Convert.ToString(_entity.GetAttributeValue<DateTime?>("DateTimeFieldName")) != "" && (_entity.GetAttributeValue<DateTime?>("DateTimeFieldName")) != null)
{
dateTimeVar = _entity.GetAttributeValue<DateTime?>("DateTimeFieldName");
}
}
Hi Goutam,
I am not using Post Image currently for this plugin. Can I achieve this by retreieving from context?
Hi ,
Try with this -
//Declare Datetime Variable DateTime? dateTimeVar = null; //Retrieve Post Images , get the postImage from context Entity postImage = (context.PostEntityImages != null && context.PostEntityImages.Contains("PostImage")) ? context.PostEntityImages["PostImage"] : null; //Retrieve date from PostImages, Replace DateTimeFieldName if (postImage.Attributes.Contains("DateTimeFieldName")) { if (Convert.ToString(postImage.GetAttributeValue<DateTime?>("DateTimeFieldName")) != "" && (postImage.GetAttributeValue<DateTime?>("DateTimeFieldName")) != null) { dateTimeVar = postImage.GetAttributeValue<DateTime?>("DateTimeFieldName"); } }
Hope this helps.
