We are using CRM 2011 Online. I have a plugin that is attempting to update the account name from the company name in the regarding lead. It executes without an error but the account name doesn't get updated. The plugin is registered "Post Operation" and has a post image that includes just the account name field. One question I have is, if there is no data in the account name field, is the field part of the attribute list? Here is the code...
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
{
Entity account = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
if (account.LogicalName == "account")
{
Entity member = service.Retrieve("lead",
((EntityReference)account["originatingleadid"]).Id, new ColumnSet(true));
if (member.Attributes.Contains("companyname"))
{
companyName = member.Attributes["companyname"].ToString();
}
if (context.PostEntityImages.Contains("AccountPostImage") &&
context.PostEntityImages["AccountPostImage"] is Entity)
{
accountPostImage = (Entity) context.PostEntityImages["AccountPostImage"];
companyName = "This is a test";
if (companyName != String.Empty)
{
accountPostImage.Attributes["name"] = companyName;
service.Update(account);
}
}
}
Thank you for the help!!
