Override D365 Create Date

I have a scenario where I want to generate data, but include an offset created on date. This will be used for a demo of SLAs within D365.

 

In Postman, I can post something like this to the Incidents entity

 

{
"title": "CC Test",
"overriddencreatedon": "2020-04-29T10:08:15Z",
"customerid_contact@odata.bind": "/contacts(aaae302f-1899-ea11-a812-000d3a7fc8be)"
}

 

And the record is created with the Created on matching the date & time accurately.

 

If I do similar in Flow, using a compose action firstly to get a date

 

formatDateTime(addHours( addDays(utcNow(),rand(-45, 1)),rand(-6,0)),'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ssZ')
 
and use Create New record to pass the generated timestamp to Record Created On (and Last On hold time, to prove it wasn't the formatting), only the date is placed on the record, the time part is blanked
 

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @LinkeD365 

 

What connector are you using? CDS or D365.

I have used both versions of the Common Data Service connector without joy

Hi @LinkeD365 

 

Thanks for your reply. I have tested this with both CDS connectors and D365. Looks like this is a bug. Alternate option is use the REST API.

 

Thanks

Yeah, that's what I thought. Have got a connector for other things so will have to embellish that.

 

Cheers
