Hi,

How can I set the auto generated GUID of a an entity record to a custom field within the same identity?

I tried doing the same for a calculated field of string type and got this error "You can't set the value new_entitynameid, which is of type uniqueIdentifier, to type string. "

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello,

You can go with a Plugin, by doing something like :

Entity entity = new Entity("yourentity");

entity["yourfield"] = entity.Id;

service.Update(entity);
