Clone a record and its related entities

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Hameed Hussain 250

I have a requirement to clone a record and all its related entities. I know there is a method EntityExtensions.Clone(entity, true) which does this in CRM 2015. On Dynamics 365 online, this method still works and clones the record, but NOT the related records. Is this method still active or working in the latest version?

    Hi,

    The EntityExtensions class was deprecated and last used in the 2015 SDK, in fact the Microsoft.Xrm.Client assembly has been removed from the 8.2 SDK (probably 8.0 but I have 8.2 in front of me). I can't find anything remotely similar in the current SDK, either online or by running the code through IL Spy. I would expect the 7.0 version to continue working and I'm a little surprised it isn't, but since it isn't supported on that version I'm not really shocked. Sorry. Documentation: msdn.microsoft.com/.../microsoft.xrm.client.entityextensions.aspx

    I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as Answering your question.

    Thanks,

     Aiden
