  • Artikel

Creates a table record.

Syntax

Xrm.WebApi.createRecord(entityLogicalName, data).then(successCallback, errorCallback);

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
entityLogicalName String Yes Logical name of the table you want to create. For example: account.
data Object Yes A JSON object defining the columns and values for the new table record. See Examples
successCallback Function No A function to call when a record is created. See Return Value
errorCallback Function No A function to call when the operation fails. An object with the following properties is passed:
- errorCode: Number. The error code.
- message: String. An error message describing the issue.

Return Value

On success, returns a promise object to the successCallback with the following properties:

Name Type Description
entityType String The table logical name of the new record.
id String GUID of the new record.

Examples

These examples use the same request objects as demonstrated in Create a table row using the Web API to define the data object for creating a table record.

Basic create

Creates a sample account record.

// define the data to create new account
var data =
    {
        "name": "Sample Account",
        "creditonhold": false,
        "address1_latitude": 47.639583,
        "description": "This is the description of the sample account",
        "revenue": 5000000,
        "accountcategorycode": 1,
        "opendeals_date": new Date("2024-02-03T00:00:00Z")
    }

// create account record
Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("account", data).then(
    function success(result) {
        console.log("Account created with ID: " + result.id);
        // perform operations on record creation
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log(error.message);
        // handle error conditions
    }
);

Note

Creating records with a primary image is not supported for offline mode. Primary images can only be set with create in online mode. Other image columns cannot be set with create. Learn more about Primary images

You can create tables related to each other by defining them as navigation properties values. This pattern is known as deep insert. In this example, we create a sample account record along with the primary contact record and an associated opportunity record.

Note

Creating related table records in a single create operation is not supported for offline mode.

// define data to create primary and related table records
var data =
    {
        "name": "Sample Account",
        "primarycontactid":
        {
            "firstname": "John",
            "lastname": "Smith"
        },
        "opportunity_customer_accounts":
        [
            {
                "name": "Opportunity associated to Sample Account",
                "Opportunity_Tasks":
                [
                    { "subject": "Task associated to opportunity" }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }

// create account record
Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("account", data).then(
    function success(result) {
        console.log("Account created with ID: " + result.id);
        // perform operations on record creation
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log(error.message);
        // handle error conditions
    }
);

Associate tables on creating new records

To associate new table records to existing table records, set the value of single-valued navigation properties using the @odata.bind annotation.

Note

The names of single-valued navigation properties are not always the same as the LogicalName for the lookup attribute. You should make sure you are using the Name attribute value of the NavigationProperty element in the Web API $metadata service document. More information: Web API Navigation Properties

Here's code example:

The following example creates an account record, and associates it to an existing contact record to set the latter as the primary contact for the new account record:

var data =
    {
        "name": "Sample Account",
        "primarycontactid@odata.bind": "/contacts(465b158c-541c-e511-80d3-3863bb347ba8)"
    }

// create account record
Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("account", data).then(
    function success(result) {
        console.log("Account created with ID: " + result.id);
        // perform operations on record creation
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log(error.message);
        // handle error conditions
    }
);

Deprecated method for mobile offline scenario

Note

Instead of using @odata.bind annotation example shown previously, the deprecated lookup object with case-sensitive properties (logicalname and id) is still supported for existing customizations. However, it is recommended to use @odata.bind annotation for both online and offline scenario instead of using this deprecated object.

The following example uses the deprecated method to create an account record, and associate it to an existing contact record to set the latter as the primary contact for the new account record from mobile clients when working in the offline mode:

var data =
    {
        "name": "Sample Account",
        "primarycontactid":
        {
            "logicalname": "contact",
            "id": "465b158c-541c-e511-80d3-3863bb347ba8"
        } 
    }

// create account record
Xrm.WebApi.offline.createRecord("account", data).then(
    function success(result) {
        console.log("Account created with ID: " + result.id);
        // perform operations on record creation
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log(error.message);
        // handle error conditions
    }
);
