How to perform an Associate request in PCF using Xrm.WebApi

Posted on by 113 Most Valuable Professional

Hi,

This is maybe not the most appropriate place to ask this question but I am fighting with this since weeks and there is absolutely no documentation anywhere on how to perform an association for a NN relationship using Xrm.WebApi.

 

As I need this for a PCF component, I'm asking here.

 

Can anyone provide a sample code on how to do this? The current code I have just ends with an unspecified error

 

var associateRequest = new class {
	target = {
		id: theRecordId,
		entityType: currentEntity
	};
	relatedEntities = [
	 {
		id: thisCtrl.parentRecordId,
	 entityType: "account"
	 }
	];
	relationship = "new_tag_account";
	getMetadata(): any {
	 return {
		boundParameter: undefined,
		parameterTypes: {
			"target":{
				"typeName": "mscrm.new_tag",
				"structuralProperty" : 5
			},
			"relatedEntities":{
				"typeName": "mscrm.account",
				"structuralProperty" : 4
			},
			"relationship":{
				"typeName": "Edm.String",
				"structuralProperty" : 1
			}
		},
		operationType: 2,
		operationName: "Associate"
	 };
	}
 }();

 // @ts-ignore
 thisCtrl._context.webAPI.execute(associateRequest)
 .then(
	 // @ts-ignore
	 function(result){
		 debugger;
	 },
	 // @ts-ignore
	 function(error){
		 debugger;
	 }
 );

    Ok, found it after days!!

     

    the casing of the relationship name is important. With the correct casing, it worked
