Not able to create the attachment regarding any entity

[Dexx3336]

Hi All,

The code which was running earlier for creating the attachment in CRM from canvas app is not running now.

below is code snippet:

Patch(
Notes,
Defaults(Notes),
{
subject: TextInputTitle.Text,
notetext: TextInputDescription.Text,

_objectid_value : BrowseGallery1.Selected.accountid,
objecttypecode : "accounts",

filename: First(CameraImage).Filename,
documentbody: If(
StartsWith(
First(CameraImage).fileBody,
"data:image"
),
Replace(
First(CameraImage).fileBody,
1,
Len(
Left(
First(CameraImage).fileBody,
Find(
",",
First(CameraImage).fileBody
)
)
),
""
),
First(CameraImage).fileBody
)
}
)

What is wrong in above code? I also tried by using  "_objectid_type" instead of "objecttypecode" but didn't work for me.  

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Dexx3336,

Could you please share more details about the error message within your app?

Do you want to patch a new record within the Notes entity based on your Accounts record?

Thanks, @v-xida-msft for a response. 
when I used _objectid_type I am getting below error:

Patch(
Notes,
Defaults(Notes),{
subject: TextInput1.Text,
_objectid_value: BrowseGallery1.Selected.accountid,
_objectid_type:"accounts"}
)

let me know if I am missing something in the above code?

And if I am right? then, don't know why the code is not working now  . I have already used the same code before and it worked at that time. But it is not working now.

suggestion/solution from anyone will be appreciated. I really need it this time as our client moved to D365 v9.1 online and it does not support off-line capability in the mobile app.

Thanks!

Is any work around solution for this?

Hi @Dexx3336,

Please take a try to turn off/disable the "Use GUID data types instead of strings" option within Advanced settings of App settings of your app, then re-load your app, try your formula again, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Kris

Hi @v-xida-msft , 
Yes, i also reached at that point in my finding and this was the only reason why it was not allowed to save the attachments in CRM.
I also noticed that before recent update this option was defaulted to false . But now it is set to true bydefault.

Thanks for your efforts.

Hi @Dexx3336 

I am also facing same issue while creating notes in D365, and as you suggested to turn off flag for "User Guid data types instead of strings", I do not find this option under App Settings. Any suggestions? I started getting this error as as soon as I enabled "Use Display Column Names" feature. Even I do not find this option to disable it back in App Settings.

+1 I'm also facing this issue. And the "Use GUID data types instead of strings" option is missing in the Apps Setting. Has the option been moved @v-xida-msft ?

I am also facing same issue while creating notes record in D365, and as you suggested to turn off flag for "User Guid data types instead of strings", this setting is not listed under App Settings. Is there any other option provided? Any suggestions?

Hi @shine 

Only option untill this issue/bug is fixed is to create a flow and pass note title, description, regarding value as parameters from PowerApp. That's what I did in my app.
