Virtual Entity custom provider retrieve plugin displays no data

Hi All,

I am creating a custom data provider for a virtual entity (based loosely on this Sample: Custom virtual table provider with CRUD operations (Microsoft Dataverse) - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn).

My retrieve multiple works fine using an output parameter of "BusinessEntityCollection". However, for my retrieve plugin it throws no errors but only displays the labels for the fields and no content. I am returning a valid entity in the "BusinessEntity" output parameter like so...

context.OutputParameters["BusinessEntity"] = record; // record is an entity here

The entity has an ID set (both the primary id attribute and the .id property) and looking at the response in fiddler it looks fine as below..

{
  "@odata.context": "https://kf-northstar-client-demo.crm11.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/$metadata#kf_schemes(kf_kf_id,kf_name,kf_region,kf_include_in_standard_analysis,kf_completion_year,kf_completion_date,kf_schemeid)/$entity",
  "kf_completion_year@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue": "2,017",
  "kf_completion_year": 2017,
  "kf_name": null,
  "kf_include_in_standard_analysis@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue": "Yes",
  "kf_include_in_standard_analysis": true,
  "kf_kf_id": "KF0000003",
  "kf_completion_date@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue": "15/03/2017",
  "kf_completion_date": "2017-03-15T00:00:00Z",
  "kf_region": "North West",
  "kf_schemeid": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003"
}

but on my screen I see nothing :-(
