If you are still having this issue, please email me at drew@mynextemployee.com and I would be happy to walk you through each step. I have a post mentioned below that can show you how to do every step.
Hi Mnarmeen! I recently wrote an entire guide on How to create a simple plugin and register it! It will take you through every step and show you how to fill in a field triggered by the creation of a contact! This logic can be applied to any entity and field. The next lessons will show how to create a task, and associate it with a contact. That logic will show how to create any record for any entity. Thank you and please leave a comment if it works for you or if you have any suggestions.
Hi M N,
Here is a blog post I wrote on the basics for setting up a plugin that might help you:
Hi,
In addition of Arc's answer ,
It might be happen that your plugin is executing and internally getting exception . So try to debug your plugin and enable trace log , write some message with basic plugin first using below reference .

From your code I see the following:
if (entity.Attributes.Contains("description"))
{
entity.Attributes.Add("description", "Here is the new description");
}
You already have an attribute named description, so adding a new attribute with the same name will be problematic.
You should change the logic as follows:
if (entity.Attributes.Contains("description"))
{
entity["description"] = "Here is the new description";
}
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Its time to learn some debugging now :)

Have you registered your plugin on pre create, if not register it on pre create? can you share your plugin steps screenshot
