Dynamics - List Records - Expand Query w/Custom Entities

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I'm struggling to connect to Dynamics 365 data in Flow... hoping that someone can point me in the right direction before I need to build a clunky workaround.

 

My issue is this: I am using the 'Expand Query' component of the 'Dynamics - List records' action to retrieve data from lookup fields. I am building my Flow exactly as described in this blog post. This process works just fine when using lookup fields from default entities (e.g. Accounts). But when I try doing the same for lookup fields in custom entities, I get the error 'Could not find a property named field name on type Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.custom entity name'. I've tried a few different custom entities in different environments and receive the same error every time. I am able to retrieve other data from custom entities using 'List records', but 'Expand Query' does not seem to work with them.

 

Is it possible to use the 'Expand Query' component of List records on custom Dynamics entities?

 

Thank you

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Thanks for sharing the details. I am afraid that custom entities are not been supported in Expand query. If you need this feature, please submit a request on Flow Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,
