How to Override created on, Created by, owner fields in Dataflow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 242

Hi

I'm uploading legacy "Contacts" data to dataverse using a dataflow that is created from a mysql connector.

However, there are no mapping found for the createdon and created by dates and is by default setting it to the current date.

 

I'm aware of the CRM template upload which gives an option to map these fields, but I would prefer the data to be uploaded by the connector/gateway.

 

Is there a way by which this can be done in Dataverse->Dataflows

    Hello,

    If you want to populate "Created On" look for "Date Created" (overriddencreatedon) field. Pass "CreatedOn" value inside and you will see the result after the import.

    In regards to "Created By" - there is no easy way, unfortunately. Here is what could help you - https://missdynamicscrm.blogspot.com/2014/06/crm-2011-2013-modify-createdon-createdby-modifiedon-modifiedby-using-SDK-CSharp.html
