Set OptionSetvalue with PowerShell Set-CRMRecord

Posted on by TheMichael

Hello,

I have a table ehg_virtualserver with the OptionSet column ehg_osupdatebehaviour and I would like to use Set-CrmRecord CMDlet to set the value, something like this:

Set-CrmRecord ehg_virtualserver -Id $recordid -Fields @{"ehg_osupdatebehaviour" = "Manual Triggered"}

but I get an error "Incorrect attribute value type System.String", same happens with an Integer error when I try to use the value 786120000 of the option set instead of the label. Any help on how to set an option set value would be appreciated 😃

Hi @TheMichael

Can you please try below PowerShell Script

$entity = Get-CrmRecord -EntityLogicalName "<entity_name>" -Id "<record_id>"

$entity.Attributes["<attribute_name>"] = $optionSetValue

Set-CrmRecord -Entity $entity

Hi Rampprakash,
thanks for the fast reply!
I tried

$entity = Get-CrmRecord -EntityLogicalName "ehg_virtualserver" -Id "39981cc2-83ea-ed11-8849-000d3ab699fb" -Fields ehg_name,ehg_osupdatebehaviour $entity.Attributes["ehg_osupdatebehaviour"] = "Manual Triggered"

but then I get the error "InvalidOperation: Cannot index into a null array." Same happens when I try the value instead of the optionset label.

Edit: When I try to access the property with a dot and set the record like this:
$entity.ehg_osupdatebehaviour = "Manual Triggered" Set-CrmRecord -Entity $entity -Id "39981cc2-83ea-ed11-8849-000d3ab699fb" -Fields ehg_osupdatebehaviour
I get the error that, “The argument transformation for the parameter “Fields” cannot be processed. The value “ehg_osupdatebehaviour” of type “System.String” cannot be converted to the type “System.Collections.Hashtable”.

Hi, I found the solution with the help of a consultant. The problem was I ran the script with PowerShell Core. In PowerShell Desktop I was able to pass the OptionSetObject. Looks like this:
$optionSetValue = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OptionSetValue -ArgumentList 786120000 Set-CrmRecord -EntityLogicalName ehg_virtualserver -Id "39981cc2-83ea-ed11-8849-000d3ab699fb" -Fields @{"ehg_osupdatebehaviour" = $optionSetValue}
