Can I create an inactive record by plugin in CRM 2011?

Is there way to create an inactive record by plugin in Microsoft CRM 2011? I can use setStateRequest class and IOrganizationService.Execute method to change state/status of an existing record. Since this method needs the record Id, It can't be use on a new record.

Is it possible to create immediately an inactive record or do I have to create a new active record and deactivate it after the creation?

Setting the state/status directly (even on a new record)

EntityToSave["statecode"] = new OptionSetValue(state);
EntityToSave["statuscode"] = new OptionSetValue(status);

leads to an error:

2 is not a valid status code for state code ProductState.Active on product
Solution

  • You need to create the record first and after deactivate with a SetStateRequest.

    There are no other ways to proceed.
