Using Azure Data Factory to Copy Data into a Field in CDS of Type Lookup Using an Alternate Key

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm curious if it's possible, using an Azure Data Factory copy activity, to move data from an Azure SQL Database into a lookup field  on a CDS entity using an alternate key defined for that entity. 

 

I've found this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-dynamics-crm-office-365#writing-data-to-a-lookup-field

 

But this seems to work with a records GUID identifier field, not the field associated with the alternate key. 

 

Please let me know your thoughts and thank you for your time!
