How to get the context of the trigger of RetrieveMultiple plug-in.

As I'm correct requesting a View of records in a model driven app is actually an underlying RetrieveMultiple plug-in triggering with a certain query.

There's a certain scenario where it would be helpful to be able to get the GUID of the record which actually is the initial trigger of the RetrieveMultiple plug-in.

Example:

Main form of Entity A contains a subgrid of Entity B records. (in my scenario Entity B is a virtual entity).

When the users opens the Main Form of Entity A, this results in the RetrieveMultiple plug-in for Entity B triggering because the subgrid records have to be loaded.

I'm asking this particular question as I'm providing the RetrieveMultiple plug-in for Entity B myself and it would be a massive help if I could work with the GUID of the Entity A record.

As far as I can see while debugging my current RetrieveMultiple plug-in, I can't find any reference to the 'Entity A record'.

Looking forward to any insights!

Hello,

Actually, it's available inside the QueryExpression that is passed into the plugin and you will have to extract it - just go through conditions and get it.
