Dynamics CRM Web API - Assign Records / Update Owner field

I am trying to create a Task record in Dynamics 365 and I want the owner to be a team record for which I have already retrieved the GUID.

This is my JSON and it always fails. 

{
  "[email protected]":"/teams(f7e383eb-3966-e711-8122-e0071b66c021)",
  "scheduledend":"2017-07-20",
  "[email protected]":"new_surveies(f7e383eb-3966-e711-8122-e0071b84b034)",
  "subject":"Amazon SES has suppressed sending to this address because it has a recent history of bouncing as an invalid address.",
}

I get a bad request.

Can we not use the Web API to update the owner field of records? I could not find any specific limitations describing the same.

Solution

  • Maybe try:

    "[email protected]":"/teams(f7e383eb-3966-e711-8122-e0071b66c021)",

    Using Jason Lattimer's CRM REST Builder, I've gotten this to work:

    entity["[email protected]"] = "/teams(956B410F-0F6E-E711-810E-00155D6FD705)";

    One thing to ensure is that the team has a valid security role. You might want to try assigning the team in the UI to make sure the operation works before trying to do it programmatically.
