Composite data entity export tag name changes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 21

Hello, everyone!

I have built simple composite data entity:

pastedimage1641459843056v1.png

consisting of 2 data entities. 

I'm having dificulties with exported file, when I export using this composite entity tag names are different than column name in table(added underscore).

Mapping visualization:

Exported file using composite data entity:

Exported file using simple data entity:

pastedimage1641460297634v5.png

Can't figure out why it's happening.

Because of this, when i want to import this file back, automatic mapping doesn't work, have to do it manually.

Any help appreciated!

Kind regards,

Maris

    I guess the "Start" and "End" names are somehow reserved for system purposes in the composite entity export, and therefore your field names are changed. I think that the only way around it is to change the names of your entity fields to something else.

    Start/end are not listed on the "reserved keywords" doc, but this doc seems to be for AX2012 and I haven't seen an updated version for D365: docs.microsoft.com/.../x-keywords

    Hello, Nikolaos!

    Thank you for your fast reply. I renamed those fields in the data entity and it works like a charm.

    Kind regards,

    Maris
