Hello,

I am adding a selectlist in my web resource and then saving the data through JavaScript like this

entity.attributes['new_category'] = categoryValue;

where categoryValue = $("#category option:selected")[0].innerHTML . But when i am creating the entity like XrmServiceToolkit.Soap.Create(entity) it is throwing me and error

    Hi Drashti Mehta,

    Select-list accepts number only and not string.

    Here you should add the code as

    entity.attributes['new_category'] = optionSetValue;

    This option set value can be found by selecting the select-list field of the entity from the solution as shown below.
