There are several methods you can use to associate and disassociate entities. Which method you apply depends on whether you’re creating or updating the entities and whether you’re operating in the context of the referenced entity or the referencing entity.

The following example shows how to associate an existing opportunity entity with the opportunityid value of 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 to the collection-valued opportunity_customer_accounts navigation property for an account entity with the accountid value of 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002. This is a 1:N relationship but you can perform the same operation for an N:N relationship.

Request

POST [Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002)/opportunity_customer_accounts/$ref HTTP/1.1 
Content-Type: application/json 
Accept: application/json 
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0 
OData-Version: 4.0

{
"@odata.id":"[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/opportunities(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)"
}

Response

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
OData-Version: 4.0

Remove a reference to an entity

Use a DELETE request to remove a reference to an entity. The way you do it is different depending on whether you’re referring to a collection-valued navigation property or a single-valued navigation property.

Request
For a collection-valued navigation property, use the following.

DELETE [Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002)/opportunity_customer_accounts/$ref?$id=[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/opportunities(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001) HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0

Or, use this.

DELETE [Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002)/opportunity_customer_accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)/$ref HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0

Request
For a single-valued navigation property, remove the $id query string parameter.

DELETE [Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/opportunities(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)/customerid_account/$ref HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0

Response
Either way, a successful response has status 204.
```
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
OData-Version: 4.0
```

You can associate entities by setting the value of a single-valued navigation property using PUT request with the following pattern.

Request

PUT [Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/opportunities(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)/customerid_account/$ref HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0

{
 "@odata.id":"[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002)"
}

Response

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
OData-Version: 4.0

Associate entities on create

As described in Create related entities in one operation, new entities can be created with relationships using deep insert.

Associate entities on update

You can associate entities on update using the same message described in Basic update but you must use the @odata.bind annotation to set the value of a single-valued navigation property. The following example changes the account associated to an opportunity using the customerid_account single-valued navigation property.

Request

PATCH [Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/opportunities(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001) HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0

{
 "customerid_account@odata.bind":"[Organization URI]/api/data/v8.2/accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002)"
}

Response

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
OData-Version: 4.0
