Posted on by Steven Rieger

I have a plugin that is called on Create for an Entity. When I receive the Target Entity, I look up the record by the Id. I want to compute a value and save that record. I do that and don't receive any error but the field is not updated in the datbase.

atfApplication = service.Retrieve( "aws_accreditationapplication", accreditationApplicationID, new ColumnSet( true ) );
if ( !atfApplication.Attributes.Contains( "aws_name" ) )
{
    string strATFName = $"{anAccount["name"]} - {anApplicationtType["aws_name"]}";
    atfApplication["aws_name"] = strATFName;
    service.Update( atfApplication );
}

Hello, syntactically the code is fine. In this case I recommend you to check the following points:

- That "accreditationApplicationID" value corresponds to an existing record id.

- Make sure that "!atfApplication.Attributes.Contains( "aws_name" )" is true, in order to see if the code enter that conditional.

- Make sure that "atfApplication" is declared as: Entity atfApplication = new Entity("entity_name").

Thanks!

HI Steven,

Please check points suggested by Esteban Coto Alfaro

And one more suggestion, For better plugin development experience please use Tracing Inside the code.

This will make debugging easier.

Thanks,

Pradeep.

Hello,

Adding to Pradeep Rai question,

Why can't you try PreCrete because we don't want to update a record if we are using PreCrete
