We are making a migration to Microsoft Dynamics CRM through a 3rd party. In order to accomplish it, we are sending all of our requests through the soap endpoint.
In any operation (create/update...) when we need to reference another entity we do so through a key field (since we don't have the IDs) i,e:
<c:valuei:type="b:EntityReference"><b:KeyAttributesxmlns:e="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/7.1/Contracts"><e:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType><c:key>accountnumber</c:key><c:valuei:type="f:string"xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">ABCETJKL</c:value></e:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType></b:KeyAttributes><b:LogicalName>account</b:LogicalName><b:Namei:nil="true"/><b:RowVersioni:nil="true"/></c:value>The problem is that we are trying to perform a createRequest in an entity with a partylist. So far we've only been able to obtain the desired result if we use the id when creating the partylist field, when we try to create it as if it were a reference, that attribute is left blank by CRM :
...<b:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType><c:key>from</c:key><c:valuei:type="b:EntityCollection"><b:Entities><b:Entity><b:Attributes><b:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType><c:key>partyid</c:key><c:valuei:type="b:EntityReference"><b:KeyAttributesxmlns:e="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/7.1/Contracts"><e:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType><c:key>accountnumber</c:key><c:valuei:type="f:string"xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">ABCDEFG</c:value></e:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType></b:KeyAttributes><b:LogicalName>account</b:LogicalName><b:Namei:nil="true"/><b:RowVersioni:nil="true"/></c:value></b:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType></b:Attributes><b:LogicalName>activityparty</b:LogicalName></b:Entity></b:Entities><b:EntityName>activityparty</b:EntityName></c:value></b:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
...Is it possible to make this connection? To reference a partyList field through a key value instead of the id?
