Dynamics CRM Web API setting up the parentactivityid issue

I need to set the parentactivityid for the email entity the same way CRM does it automatically when replying to an email. I am using the same pattern that works for any other lookup property like this:

url -> "/api/data/v8.2/emails(emailID)"
value -> "parentactivityid@odata.bind": "/emails(parentEmailID)"

The request ends well (204) but when I check the email it returns:

"_parentactivityid_value":null

instead of assigned GUID.

Do you know what could be the issue?

Solution

  • parentactivityid - Unfortunately this attribute is marked IsValidForUpdate as false in Developer guide (sdk).

    MSDN

    Probably you have to set the subject line, smart token & leave it to platform for tracking.
