Wrong expected type in Update and Create Entity Record

Help Apps

"Good afternoon, dear community. It’s me again.

I’ve encountered a weird behavior in Apps when trying to either update or create an entity record. The problem is that the tool event (Update/Create Entity Record) is expecting the wrong data type for one of my fields in the entity. As you can see in the first image, the tool is expecting a “Guid” type of value when, in reality, the field saves “Text” value types, as you can see in the second image.

I think it has to do with the fact that the name of the fields contains the word “Id,” and somehow it directly associates it with a “Guid” value. Because in my other entities, I have similar fields, and the behavior is the same, specifically with those fields, because with other text fields, it doesn’t bother.

Let me know what you all think; any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Regards.

Hello,

Please make sure your return value is GUID or if its text and you are storing GUID then do convert.

Hello @Arvind_Kumar1. The thing is the the field in data service is of “text” type but the tool is expecting a GUID for a reason. Check the Behavior nº2 in this video so you can see the whole case.

As you can see in the video, I already managed to make it worked but Its a wierd behavior to see that the whole reason seems to be because I have the word “Id” in the name of the field.
