In this Blog, we will see how to clone OOB/Custom Entities in Dataverse or MSCRM Environment.

Scenario:

 

Consider I have an Opportunity Entity Available, once the Opportunity is WON or LOST, we want to Clone that Opportunity with Exact Same Details.

You can write the below code in your Plugins.

 

 

Entity getOpprotuntiyRecord = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

Entity cloneRecord = service.Retrieve("opportunity", getOpprotuntiyRecord.Id, new ColumnSet(true));
cloneRecord.Attributes.Remove("opportunityid");
cloneRecord.Id = Guid.NewGuid();

opportunity --> Change it based on your Entity Logical Name

opportunityid --> Entity Logical Name Primary Unique id name

If Suppose you want to add some value to NAME Field while Cloning means you can write below code
