Updating Dataverse Lookup Field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to update an Invoiced Product field (Units) in Dynamics Field Service. However, the standard logic I used to update lookup fields isn't working. I get the following error:

Here is my current step:

I have verified the guid is correct and that the Units(uom) entity has that record. I know I'm hitting the proper update record because if I remove that "Unit" code and just use the Invoice Product guid, the flow completes successfully. 

 

Thoughts?

    I tried with both of those options. I've used PA and Lookup fields before, but this particular entity doesn't seem to be working.

     

    I tried /uoms - the is the logical name for the Units entity

    /uomids - this is the logical on the Invoice Products forms

    Yes, I am using the table name (logical name for this table is uom) and the guid. In this case I'm using /uoms(guid) for the row in the Units table.

    Hi  @vxmine1 , 

     

    If you want to update a Lookup column in a flow , please try:

    /<tableName>(<guid>)

    In addition , table name should be logic name instead of display name.

     

    I think this link will help you a lot:
