Create an Entity Record using "Xrm.WebApi.createRecord" in JS

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 97

I was trying to Create an entity record using "Xrm.WebApi.createRecord" but I'm getting the Following error

"An error occurred while validating input parameters: Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Invalid property 'edm_donorid' was found in entity 'Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.edm_bookreceiptdetail'. ---> Microsoft.OData.ODataException: Does not support untyped value in non-open type."

please not that I'm sure that the field 'edm_donorid' exists in the form.

 

 var data =
                        {
                            "edm_donorid": {
                                "logicalname": "contact",
                                "id":   result["_edm_donorid_value"]
                            } 
                           
                        };
                        opener.Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("edm_bookreceiptdetail", data).then(
                            function success(record) {
                                console.log("record created with ID: "   record.id);
                                // perform operations on record creation
                            },
                            function (error) {
                                console.log(error.message);
                                // handle error conditions
                            }
                        );

    Hi Amer, 

    Can you try this way : 

    var data = { "edm_donorid@odata.bind": "/contacts("   result["_edm_donorid_value"]   ")" }

    You'll find here examples of how you pass lookup params : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/xrm-webapi/createrecord

    KR,

    Hi,

    Format of lookup is incorrect.

    Please try with below format -

    entity["edm_donorid@odata.bind" = "/contacts(result["_edm_donorid_value")";

    var entity = {};
    entity["msft_emergencycontact@odata.bind"] = "/contacts(12334)";
    
    Xrm.WebApi.online.createRecord("msft_employee", entity).then(
        function success(result) {
            var newEntityId = result.id;
        },
        function(error) {
            Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);
        }
    );

    Hi Amer,

    For the error -"Does not support untyped value in non-open type", you can refer following links for more details:

    What is “Does not support untyped value in non-open type” ODataException in creating records in D365 CE? | D365 Demystified

    Dynamics CRM 365 WEB API Common Errors and Resolution – xrm CRM Dynamics (wordpress.com)

    And I think this suggestion mentioned in the article is desirable -- avoiding this error is to use Rest Builder tool to generate API code.

    Hi Amer,

    Please verify the field name.

    Also, as mentionned by Leah you can use Rest builder tool, it will generate the code for you.

    Hi all,

    Thanks for your reply all, but I faced another error when I used the below solution.

    var data =
                           {
                               "edm_donorid@odata.bind": "/contacts("   result["_edm_donorid_value"]   ")"
                           }
                            opener.Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("edm_bookreceiptdetail", data).then(
                                function success(record) {
                                    console.log("record created with ID: "   record.id);
                                    // perform operations on record creation
                                },
                                function (error) {
                                    console.log(error.message);
                                    // handle error conditions
                                }
                            );

    "Microsoft.OData.ODataException An undeclared property 'edm_donorid' which only has property annotations in the payload but no property value was found in the payload. In OData, only declared navigation properties and declared named streams can be represented as properties without values."

    Hi Amer,

    This is caused because in your request you had the wrong field name, you need use the schema name of the lookup field followed by the bind annotation.

    How to fix getting “Undeclared Property Error” when using Lookups with Dynamics 365 Web API - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Community

    Go Settings > Customizations > Customize the System > Entities > select the entity you need > Fields to find the lookup field.

    If it still doesn't work, you can refer following link to append the entity name to the schema name:

    An undeclared property ‘new_bulkadjustment’ which only has property annotations in the payload but no property value was found in the payload. – Mohammed Hameed Hussain

    Hi,

    I would advise you to download Rest Builder tool on your crm instance.

    jlattimer.blogspot.com/.../crm-rest-builder-v2600.html

    Tool will help you generate code for you.
