    Hi,

    You can generate your fetch xml query from advanced find easily. Open advanced find and add below condition then click on Download fetch xml ribbon button.

    Building -> Class Reuqirement Table 

    Employee -> Plan Class(lookup)

    Now use below tool to convert your fetxh xml to c#

    Have you already registered the plugin on the PLAN CLASS TABLE?

    if yes then you can merge this New code with the old one. And make sure get the attribute result before your main operation so that your code will work as expected and will not provide null exception.

    Just like I did above you can follow the same...that is why I have attached the screen shots for your reference.

    It is very easy to understand the Fetch XML.

    Line number 2 describes the Entity/table on which this query run.

    Line 3 to 16 have attributes which we will get.

    Line 18 to 20, it is a filter criteria that means "Where" condition...

    Also for the C# code you can refer below articles.

    Hello ManPreet,

    As you will register your plugin on the Plan Class Table,

    1. You will get the GUID of the Plan Class Table record.

    2. Now Just create a query on the "Class Requirement Table" just like below.

    select Class Requirement table

    where Plan class Table Record guid = from step 1.

    Download this Fetch XML.

    3. Fetch XML will look like below.

      
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
          
        
      
    

    and that is how you will get the data.

    4. Replace GUID with the Dynamic GUID when your plugin will run.
