MultiSelect Picklist Attribute Metadata not returned when using OAuth authentication in Dynamics CRM (Online version).

Posted on by 5

When using OAuth authentication in Dynamics CRM Online MultiSelectPicklistAttributeMetadata EntityType is not returned . The request being sent is like below:

	
		
			
				
					
						EntityFilters
						Attributes Relationships
					
					
						MetadataId
						00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
					
					
						RetrieveAsIfPublished
						false
					
					
						LogicalName
						contact
					
				
				
				RetrieveEntity
			
		
	

 

However, when I use Basic authentication, I can get these fields. I noticed that with this form of authentication I get as part of the metadata the attribute type for these fields and its data related. I have included the request and the response below.

 

Request:

				RetrieveEntity
			
		
	

Response:

Is there any type of configuration that needs to be made in my custom app to get these fields when using OAuth authentication? Or any kind of configuration from the UI of my account?

 

Thanks for the help.

    why you are using SOAP? did you check the results if you use the OData 4.0 endpoint? (EntityDefinitions)

    Yes, I am using SOAP now. They are returned when using this URL: api/data/v9.0/EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='contact')/Attributes/Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.MultiSelectPicklistAttributeMetadata?$select=LogicalName&$expand=OptionSet.

    But, I was wondering if there is any other way as I have a requirement to use SOAP.

    Multiselect attributes don't return through any authentication.
