Changing State/Status Reason for a Dynamics CRM entity

Back to Blog Listing


To change the state and/or status reason for any entity in Dynamics CRM via the API the standard "update" functionality cannot be used. Instead a SetStateRequest is required, the code below shows an example of this using a service activity appointment and setting its' state to cancelled.

Dim req As New SetStateRequest
req.EntityMoniker = New EntityReference(ServiceAppointment.EntityLogicalName, app.ActivityId)
req.State = New OptionSetValue(ServiceAppointmentState.Canceled)
req.Status = New OptionSetValue(9)

 

Please note that the DLL Microsoft.crm.sdk.Messages must be imported/included for this code to work.
