Hi team,

I have a model UCL and I have a custom entity UCL_CustomerMaster.

I have created a project in UCLFS model and we preferred to work on this model only.

As per my requirement, I need to work on UCL_CustomerMaster which is in UCL model.

So, I have created an Extension of UCL_CustomerMaster in UCLFS model

Now I open this extension entity (UCL_CustomerMaster_Extension) and click on the method node. I saw all the existing methods are grayed out and also click on right click NOT able to see the override method.

*** So, I NOT able to add POSTLOAD method on extension entity (UCL_CustomerMaster_Extension).

when I click on extension entity (UCL_CustomerMaster_Extension) and right click " go to UCL_CustomerMaster" , in method I able to see the override method postload and also all methods are editable. But it is in UCL model.

But we need to do customisation on UCLFS model only.

Please let me know why in UCLFS model I not able to see override option in method and also why all other methods are grayed out in extension entity UCL_CustomerMaster_Extension.

Please let me know what is the recommended solution for this.

Unable to override postload method in custom entity

As André said, you can't add a method to the method's node in a data entity extension. You need to create a class and use CoC to extend the method.

Moved from Integration, Dataverse, and general topics forum.

Unable to override postload method in custom entity

Hi Arpan,

You posted a question in Dynamics 365 general, but when reading the question it looks like you are working on a customization in Dynamics 365 F&O. Can you confirm that, please? Or else what other solution are you using?

If it is indeed F&O, do you have a model reference from UCLFS to UCL? Also, in that case, you can't add a method directly to the extension object, but you would need to create an extension class with the method.
