Hello,

am workjing on API pages.

I ahve a case where i want to update customer API using No field instead of system id.

I did one change for customer API.

mad a copy existing Customer API to 50000 and changed odata key field to "No." from "system id"

it is woking fine in all CRUD Cases.

Blow link has limited information.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/properties/devenv-odatakeyfields-property 

Will there be any issues later by doing this.?

Thank you.

    Hi Raju,

    Using No. field as your Odatakey can cause issues if the Users are making changes to the Primary Key and the same changes are not reflected in the System which is consuming the API.

    Other than that, I do not foresee any issues.
