Web API table schema operations sample

Article
08/10/2023

This collection of http requests and responses demonstrate how to perform selected operations that modify the Dataverse schema, or metadata, using the Web API table schema operations sample (C#)

This article describes a common set of operations implemented by each sample in this group. This article describes the HTTP requests and responses and text output that each sample performs without the language specific details. See the language specific descriptions and the individual samples for details about how these operations are performed.

Demonstrates

This sample is divided into the following sections, containing Dataverse Web API operations that are discussed in greater detail in the specified associated conceptual articles.

Code section	Associated conceptual and reference articles
Section 0: Create Publisher and Solution	Create a table row publisher EntityType soluion EntityType
Section 1: Create, Retrieve and Update Table	Create and update table definitions EntityMetadata EntityType
Section 2: Create, Retrieve and Update Columns - Boolean Column - Update Option Values - DateTime Column - Decimal Column - Integer Column - Memo Column - Money Column - Picklist Column - Add an option to the local optionset - Re-order choice column options - Delete local option value - Multi-Select Picklist Column - Insert Status Value	Create columns Retrieving attributes InsertOptionValue Action OrderOption Action DeleteOptionValue Action InsertStatusValue Action
Section 3: Create and use Global OptionSet	Create and update choices (option sets)
Section 4: Create Customer Relationship	CreateCustomerRelationships Action
Section 5: Create and retrieve a one-to-many relationship	Eligibility for relationships Create a one-to-many relationship Querying relationship metadata
Section 6: Create and retrieve a many-to-one relationship	Create a one-to-many relationship Querying relationship metadata
Section 7: Create and retrieve a many-to-many relationship	Create a many-to-many relationship Querying relationship metadata
Section 8: Export managed solution	Export solutions
Section 9: Delete sample records	Basic delete
Section 10: Import and Delete managed solution	Import solutions

Note

For brevity, less pertinent HTTP headers have been omitted. The URLs of the records will vary with the base organization address and the IDs set by the Dataverse server.

Section 0: Create Publisher and Solution

Create the publisher first since the solution must be related to it. All the items created or modified in this sample uses the publisher customizationprefix and customizationoptionvalueprefix values.

Request:

POST [Organization Uri]/api/data/v9.2/publishers HTTP/1.1
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0
If-None-Match: null
Accept: application/json

{
"friendlyname": "Example Publisher",
"uniquename": "examplepublisher",
"description": "An example publisher for samples",
"customizationprefix": "sample",
"customizationoptionvalueprefix": 72700
}

Response:

HTTP/1.1 204 NoContent
OData-Version: 4.0
OData-EntityId: [Organization Uri]/api/data/v9.2/publishers(a78ab7fc-102a-ed11-9db1-00224804f8e2)

Console output:

Created publisher Example Publisher

Then create the solution related to the publisher.

Note

Many of the items created or updated in is sample will use the uniquename value of this solution with the MSCRM.SolutionUniqueName request header so that the changes are included as part of this solution. Some actions have a SolutionUniqueName parameter that does the same thing. At the end of this sample this solution will be exported and contain the definitions of all the items created and changed in this sample.

OData-EntityId: [Organization Uri]/api/data/v9.2/solutions(5472b902-112a-ed11-9db1-00224804f8e2)

Console output:

Created solution Example Solution

Section 1: Create, Retrieve and Update Table

Create the sample_BankAccount table.

These properties are required: SchemaName, DisplayName, DisplayCollectionName, HasNotes, HasActivities and PrimaryNameAttribute, which must include the LogicalName value of the primary name column.

The table must also include one StringAttributeMetadata column in the Attributes collection to be the primary name column for the table. That column definition must have SchemaName, MaxLength, and DisplayName values, and IsPrimaryName must be set to true.

Note

The MSCRM.SolutionUniqueName: examplesolution request header associates this table to the solution. The SchemaName value (sample_BankAccount) includes the customization prefix from the publisher.

Console output:

Sending request to create the sample_BankAccount table...
Created sample_BankAccount table.

Retrieve the sample_BankAccount table definition.

This retrieve operation doesn't include any $select to filter the properties returned because this data is modified and sent back to update the table definition using PUT, which overwrites the existing value.
This query also doesn't include an $expand to include related data, such as attributes, because related data must be updated separately.

Note

This request and others in this sample use the Consistency: Strong header. Use this header when you retrieve metadata definition changes right after you apply them. Metadata changes are cached for performance reasons and a request for a newly created item may return a 404 because it hasn't been cached yet. Caching may take 30 seconds. This header will force the server to read the latest version including your changes. By using this header, you negate the performance gain that caching provides, so you should only use it when in scenarios like this sample where you are retrieving changes you have just made. More information: HTTP headers > Other headers.

Section 2: Create, Retrieve and Update Columns

This section creates and retrieves a selected group of column definitions. Each of these types are derived from AttributeMetadata EntityType so they share most of the same common properties. However, each derived type has a few special properties.

Boolean Column

Create a Boolean column using BooleanAttributeMetadata EntityType. Despite the name, boolean columns have an OptionSet property just like choice columns. However, they always have only two options: TrueOption with value 1 and FalseOption with value 0.

Retrieve the Boolean column including $expand=OptionSet so that the options can be retrieved.

Note

The URL for this request includes /Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.BooleanAttributeMetadata which performs a cast operation that is required to return any property that is not defined within the AttributeMetadata EntityType. Without this, the OptionSet expansion is not possible.

Console output:

Original Option Labels:
True Option Label:'True' Value: 1
False Option Label:'False' Value: 0

Update the Boolean column. The only changes are to the DisplayName, Description, and RequiredLevel properties, but the entire definition is included because PUT is used.

Note

Even though the OptionSet property is included in this payload, any changes to the options would not be applied because they are not considered part of the column definition. They must be updated separately and this sample will show you how in following steps.

Section 4: Create Customer Relationship

Use the CreateCustomerRelationships Action to create a customer relationship. This action adds a lookup column for the sample_BankAccount table that allows for either an account or contact record to be set.

CreateCustomerRelationships has a Lookup ComplexLookupAttributeMetadata ComplexType parameter and a OneToManyRelationships parameter containing a pair of relationships defined using ComplexOneToManyRelationshipMetadata ComplexType.

Section 5: Create and retrieve a one-to-many relationship

Before you create a relationship using code, you should confirm that the relationship is valid. The designers in Power Apps use special functions to show you which combinations are valid. You can use the same functions in your code to detect whether a particular relationship can be created or not.

Validate 1:N relationship eligibility

CanBeReferenced Function tells you whether a table the primary table (one) in a one-to-many relationship.

Console output:

CanBeReferencing Function tells you whether a table can be the referencing table in a one-to-many relationship. The referencing table is the table that has a Lookup column added to it to be the 'many' in the one-to-many relationship.

Note

Because RelationshipDefinitions contains both one-to-many and many-to-many relationship definitions, you must include the following in the URL to cast to the type you want to retrieve: /Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.OneToManyRelationshipMetadata. Otherwise, the value returned will be the RelationshipMetadataBase EntityType and will not include the properties specific to the OneToManyRelationshipMetadata EntityType.
