Creating a note in Common Data Service (CDS) within a solution

Posted on by AKhaing

I am trying to create a note record with an attachment in CDS. Document attribute in CDS connector accepts base64 encoded string.

When I create a Flow from CDS solution and save it, I get the following problem with base64 expression.

I did the same thing outside of the solution without any issue.

How do I solve this issue?

Flow error when it is created via CDS solution

FYI

When I looked the code view, they are different, especially parameters and method. I noticed curly brackets { } are missing at document body in a Flow created inside CDS solution.

Hi @cakhaing ,

Could you please explain more details about the Code from Flow created in the solution and Code from Flow created outside of the solution that you mentioned?

Best regards,

Alice

I created a Flow in CDS solution. Screenshot 1 is the trigger and an action of the Flow. An action is to create a note in CDS, and it uses base64 expression. When I save the Flow, it shows me an error.

I re-created a Flow outside of CDS solution, and this has the same trigger and the same action. I can save the Flow.

Screenshot of peek code are from those Flows to highlight the differences.

Hey,

I just tried the same, and I can reproduce the error. Can't explain the difference, but, it seems, it's just expecting a prefix to know what that base 64 represents. For example, if you use the following expression, it seems to work:

concat('data&colon;image/png;base64,',base64('12'))
