Hello,
I've successfully used WebAPI to create a test account using the sample tutorials online, getting a proper "Connection returned HTTP code: 201 with message: Created", however when I go into dynamics to view the newly created account, it is not there.
Account created with:
{
"name ": "TEST ACCOUNT ",
"creditonhold ": false,
"address1_latitude ": 47.639583,
"description ": "This is the description of the sample account ",
"revenue": 5000000,
"accountcategorycode": 1
}
Response:
Connection returned HTTP code: 201 with message: Created and also this {"@odata.context":""@odata.etag":"W/\"5431785\"","name":"TEST">XXX.crm.dynamics.com/.../$metadata ACCOUNT","creditonhold":false,"address1_latitude":47.63958,"description":"This is the description of the sample account","revenue":5000000.0000,"accountcategorycode":1,"createdon":"2021-06-03T15:52:56Z","accountid":"b17834c2-83c4-eb11-bacc-000d3a9d4415","_transactioncurrencyid_value":"98e940e6-f099-eb11-b1ac-000d3a9dfae9"}
The listing in My Active Accounts has zero accounts.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Turns out the assignment was not working not because there was a problem with the request itself, but because I was using an invalid team id. Once I corrected this, the assignment to the team worked. However, I am back at the original problem: not seeing the created accounts on the account view.
I checked the record for team assignment which shows:
{
"@odata.context":"https://myOrg.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/$metadata#accounts(name,owningteam(name))/$entity",
"@odata.etag":"W/\"5456549\"",
"name":"UPDATE WORKED LVUPR",
"accountid":"87945325-e4c4-eb11-bacc-000d3a9d4415",
"owningteam":{"@odata.etag":"W/\"1688787\"",
"name":"myOrg",
"teamid":"d9653907-c799-eb11-b1ac-000d3a9dfae9",
"ownerid":"d9653907-c799-eb11-b1ac-000d3a9dfae9"}
}
I see no problem in assigning a record using the web api. I just tested this via postman. Also, I recommend testing your requests using Postman, this tool will allow you to generate code easily.
I found this on another post, is it accurate?
"Changing the owner of the record is not an Update operation. This is Assign operation, and unfortunately there is no possibility to assign record using REST request"

One thing I noticed in your last reply was 'ownerid@odata.bind' as opposed to 'ownerid@odata.value' that I was using. When I switch to bind, I get a 'FileNotFoundException'. I assume it is saying the team I am trying to assign does not exist? I did create the team as a ADD Security Group team using the Azure Object ID from Azure.
Thanks,
This is actually a java app, not JavaScript, but to your point I have tried adding the ownerid (and owningteam) assignments during a create and update with the following additions to the JSON object:
{
"name": "TEST ACCOUNT4","
"ownerid@odata.value": "/teams(2a248d2e-c84e-40db-b9d1-934391c6c77b)","
"owningteam@odata.value": "/teams(2a248d2e-c84e-40db-b9d1-934391c6c77b)","
"creditonhold": false,"
"address1_latitude": 47.639583,"
"description": "This is the description of the sample account","
"revenue": 5000000,"
"accountcategorycode": 1,"
"statecode": 1,"
"statuscode": 1"
}
Both return successful responses and all of the other fields are set properly, yet the ownerid/owningteam remains the same:
{"@odata.context":""@odata.etag":"W/\"5443065\"","name":"TEST">myOrg.crm.dynamics.com/.../$metadata ACCOUNT4","accountid":"b57dc17d-edc4-eb11-bacc-000d3a9d4415","owningteam":null}
{"@odata.context":""@odata.etag":"W/\"5443065\"","name":"TEST">myOrg.crm.dynamics.com/.../$metadata ACCOUNT4","accountid":"b57dc17d-edc4-eb11-bacc-000d3a9d4415","owninguser":{"@odata.etag":"W/\"5146454\"","fullname":"myOrg Platform","systemuserid":"e3122b2b-59bf-eb11-8236-000d3a100d4b","ownerid":"e3122b2b-59bf-eb11-8236-000d3a100d4b"}}
