Report

Posted on by knparksnyc

I'm trying to update the owner business unit for a contact record using the patch http request api, but I get an payload entity error with the body request. Am I not passing the update correctly?

tried body of request different ways

{
"_owningbusinessunit_value": /contacts(0000-0000-0000-9999)
}

{
"_owningbusinessunit_value": contacts(0000-0000-0000-9999)
}

{
"_owningbusinessunit_value": 0000-0000-0000-9999
}

{
"_owningbusinessunit_value": /contacts(0000-0000-0000-9999)
}

looking at the above syntax, it looks like you're passing a contact GUID to a business unit lookup?

Thanks Shashank, I changed the body request to below and I still get the payload entity error.

{
"_owningbusinessunit_value": /businessunits(0000-0000-0000-9999)
}

The error text that is shown:
{
  "error": {
    "code": "0x80048d19",
    "message": "Error identified in Payload provided by the user for Entity :'',
