When I create lead entity manually, I see bpf
 
When I create using below code from console app i don’t see it
Entity lead = new Entity("lead");
lead["subject"] = "Sample Lead";
lead["firstname"] = "John";
lead["lastname"] = "Doe";
lead["companyname"] = "Sample Company";
lead["emailaddress1"] = "johndoe@example.com";
 

How to create lead record with bpf using above code?

Thanks

    Hmmm, not sure of the entire context here, but seems to me like you aren't saving the lead to the database so it won't be visible in Dynamics.


    Try adding this:
     
    Guid leadId = service.Create(lead);

    This line saves the lead to the database and returns a unique identifier for the lead. Without it, the lead exists only in your application's memory and isn't stored in Dynamics.

    Maybe something like this for the full code:
     
    // Create a new lead entity and set its attributes
Entity lead = new Entity("lead");
lead["subject"] = "Sample Lead";
lead["firstname"] = "John";
lead["lastname"] = "Doe";
lead["companyname"] = "Sample Company";
lead["emailaddress1"] = "johndoe@example.com";

// Save the lead to the database and get its unique ID
Guid leadId = service.Create(lead);

// Print the lead's unique identifier
Console.WriteLine($"Lead created successfully with ID: {leadId}");

// Retrieve the lead using its ID
Entity retrievedLead = service.Retrieve("lead", leadId, new ColumnSet(true));

// Optionally, print out some details of the retrieved lead
Console.WriteLine($"Retrieved Lead: {retrievedLead["firstname"]} {retrievedLead["lastname"]}");

    Progress along a Business Process Flow is stored in a record that in a table that gets created when you create the Business Profile Flow. You should be able to find the metadata for this table using the Metadata Browser in the XrmToolBox or via the Maker Portal.

    You basically need to create a record in this BPF specific table too and relate it to your Lead for the BPF to be applied to the Lead record
