CRM 4 codename field on Campaign entity - can't update value

I am trying to update value of codename field on Campaign entity but it wont let me do. In C# code if I debug, I can see it goes through without any error and saves everything else except codename value.

On CRM form it is read only field and if I try to amend it and change value from 12345 to 12345678 for example it does not save.

Any idea what might be preventing it? When I create a new record I can add any value I like.

Solution

  • Your observations are correct: codename on Campaign can be set when creating a record but cannot be updated.

    This information can be seen in the CRM SDK.

    See campaign.codename in the CRM 4.0 SDK:

    • Valid for create: Yes
    • Valid for retrieve: Yes
    • Valid for update: No
