Examples

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface instance.

/// <summary>
/// Demonstrates using CreateRequest with optional parameters
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">The authenticated IOrganizationService instance</param>
static void CreateRequestExample(IOrganizationService service)
{
    //Use late bound Entity class with entity logical name
    Entity account = new("account")
    {
        Attributes = {
            //String primary name
            {"name","Contoso" },
            //Yes/No column
            {"creditonhold", false },
            // DateTime
            {"lastonholdtime", new DateTime(2023, 1, 1) },
            // Double
            {"address1_latitude",47.642311},
            {"address1_longitude",-122.136841},
            // Integer
            {"numberofemployees", 500 },
            // Money
            {"revenue",new Money(new decimal(5000000.00))},
            // Choice column: Preferred Customer
            {"accountcategorycode",new OptionSetValue(1)}
        }
    };

    //Create the account
    CreateRequest request = new()
    {
        Target = account
    };

    //Set optional parameters:

    // Expect error if duplicate record found
    request["SuppressDuplicateDetection"] = false;
    // Set a shared variable that a plug-in can access
    request["tag"] = "RecordCreatedBySampleCode";
    // Bypass plug-in logic if caller has prvBypassCustomPlugins privilege
    request["BypassCustomPluginExecution"] = true;
    // Don't trigger any flows for this operation
    request["SuppressCallbackRegistrationExpanderJob"] = true;

    try
    {
        var response = (CreateResponse)service.Execute(request);

        Console.WriteLine($"Created record ID: {response.id}");
    }
    catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> ex)
    {
        switch (ex.Detail.ErrorCode)
        {
            case -2147220685: // Duplicate record error
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Detail.Message);
// A record was not created or updated because a duplicate of the current record already exists.
                break;
            default:
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Detail.Message);
                break;

Remarks

Usage

Pass an instance of this class to the Execute(OrganizationRequest) method, which returns an instance of the CreateResponse class.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have privileges on the table for the Entity set to the Target property. Generally, callers must have Read and Create privileges for the table. If the entity includes related records or lookup values, the caller will need the appropriate privileges for those records as well as Append and AppendTo privileges for the related records. Learn more about how to verify access in code

Notes for Callers

This class enables some operations not possible when using the Create(Entity) method. Some things you can do with this class:

For more information, see Use the CreateRequest class.

For user-owned tables, the caller becomes the owner for the new record by default unless you set the ownerid column for the record to the ID of another user or team.

Supported Tables

See Message support for tables for an example query you can use to get the list of tables you can use with the Create message.
