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

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
