The sample of creation plugin for dynamics365.
Plugin designed to work with TimeEntry. If the date start and the date end is different then it read existing data. Then the data is analyzed to avoid creating duplicates. The plugin should be executed in synchronous (in the transaction) mode to roll back the creation of duplicated data. If needed data will be created for every date from the range of "target" TimeEntry. Due to the fact, that the plugin executes before creating the "target" entity, we have to create all records except one. The target entity is the last missing entry and will be created in the next "Creation" step.
To work correctly when installing the plugin by PluginRegistration tool, select the following parameters:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Message | Create |
| Primary Entity | msdyn_timeentry |
| Event Pipeline Stage of Execution | PreOperation |
| Execution Mode | Synchronous |
