How to Pass Entity or EntityReference Parameters to Dataverse Actions

(4) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22
HI,
 
I am having issues calling Custom Dataverse Actions (Dynamics 365 Action Process) using a Custom Page in PowerApps .
 
The Issue is when I try to pass an Entity or EntityReference Input Argument I get the error below.
 
In this case the Action Input Argument is an "User" EnityReference 
 
I populate the varRecord variable by using the Lookup PowerFX Function howevewr when I set the parameter is says I am missing columns.
 
 
 
 
 
I noted the documentation from MS HERE
 
"To pass entity type arguments for Dataverse actions, start by setting the entity type argument value to a variable. Additionally, ensure that any missing values such as *activityId are filled in. This is particularly important for entities that do not have defined types in the swagger."
 
However I am not sure how to implement this.
Any help would be appreciated :)

    Instead of trying to use `EntityReference` type, you can just use the `string` type to send the GUID of the record.

    Thanks kalluu91
     
    So you are saying I should make the Action Input parameter a string ("guid") rather than EntityRefefence - if so how do I find the Entity in the Action process using the guid as the Action needs to use the EntityReference ?
