updating entity record is not working

Hi,

I want to be able to update the BookId for the same asset number, but the standard entity has both AssetNumber and BookId as EntityKey, so changing BookId will be considered as insert and not update.

So I created the following entity to update BookId with other fields. I put the Entity key as fixedAssetNumber alone -- but it's still creating a new record in the AssetBook table instead of updating the BookId

Please note that from the UI i can't update the bookId

and the BookId field in the AssetBook table is allowEdit false

Please note that i also copied the code from standard entity based on the fields i'm interested in:

public class XXAssetBookV2Entity extends common
{
    public void mapEntityToDataSource(DataEntityRuntimeContext _entityCtx, DataEntityDataSourceRuntimeContext _dataSourceCtx)
    {
        #isoCountryRegionCodes

        super(_entityCtx, _dataSourceCtx);

        if (_dataSourceCtx.name() == dataentitydatasourcestr(XXAssetBookV2Entity, AssetBook))
        {
            XXAssetBookV2Entity entity = _entityCtx.getEntityRecord();
            AssetBook assetBook = _dataSourceCtx.getBuffer();
            AssetBook originalAssetBook = assetBook.orig();
            AssetBook assetBookChanges;
            this.applyEntityDataToDataSource(entity, _entityCtx.getDatabaseOperation(), assetBookChanges);

            AssetBook assetBookToCheck;
            assetBookToCheck = assetBookChanges;



            if (!assetBookChanges.isFieldSet(fieldNum(AssetBook, ServiceLife)))
            {
                assetBook.calcServiceLife();

                assetBookChanges.ServiceLife = assetBook.ServiceLife;
            }

            if (!assetBookChanges.isFieldSet(fieldNum(AssetBook, LifeTime)) &&
                (assetBookToCheck.isFieldSet(fieldNum(AssetBook, ServiceLife))))
            {
                assetBook.calcLifeTime();
                assetBook.calcLifeTimeRest();

                assetBookChanges.LifeTime = assetBook.LifeTime;
                assetBookChanges.LifeTimeRest = assetBook.LifeTimeRest;

                this.applyEntityDataToDataSource(entity, _entityCtx.getDatabaseOperation(), assetBook);
            }


            // finally apply user data to avoid user data loss
            this.applyEntityDataToDataSource(entity, _entityCtx.getDatabaseOperation(), assetBook);
        }
    }

    private void applyEntityDataToDataSource(XXAssetBookV2Entity _entity, DataEntityDatabaseOperation _operation, AssetBook _record)
    {
        AssetEntityHelper::applyEntityDataToDataSource(
            _entity,
            dataEntityDataSourceStr(XXAssetBookV2Entity, AssetBook),
            _operation,
            _record);
    }



}
