Hello,
I have developed one service which inserts contact and contact-address from the third party to bpm'online. I have written below code to add contact and its Address simultaneously:
var insertContactQuery = new InsertQuery()
{
// Root schema name.
RootSchemaName = "Contact",
OperationType = QueryOperationType.Insert,
// New column values.
ColumnValues = new ColumnValues()
{
// Key-value collection.
Items = new Dictionary()
{
{
"Account",
new ColumnExpression()
{
ExpressionType = EntitySchemaQueryExpressionType.Parameter,
ColumnPath = "Account",
Parameter = new Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract.Parameter()
{
Value = item.AccountId,
DataValueType = DataValueType.Lookup
}
}
},
{
"Name",
new ColumnExpression()
{
ExpressionType = EntitySchemaQueryExpressionType.Parameter,
ColumnPath = "Name",
Parameter = new Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract.Parameter()
{
Value = item.StoreContactFirstName + " " + item.StoreContactLastName,
DataValueType = DataValueType.Text
}
}
},
{
"MobilePhone",
new ColumnExpression()
{
ExpressionType = EntitySchemaQueryExpressionType.Parameter,
ColumnPath = "MobilePhone",
Parameter = new Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract.Parameter()
{
Value = item.StorePhoneNumber,
DataValueType = DataValueType.Text
}
}
},
{
"ContactAddress",
new ColumnExpression()
{
ExpressionType = EntitySchemaQueryExpressionType.Parameter,
ColumnPath = "Address",
Parameter = new Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract.Parameter()
{
Value = item.StoreStreetAddress,
DataValueType = DataValueType.Text
}
}
},
{
"ContactCity",
new ColumnExpression()
{
ExpressionType = EntitySchemaQueryExpressionType.Parameter,
ColumnPath = "City",
Parameter = new Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract.Parameter()
{
Value = item.StoreCityName,
DataValueType = DataValueType.Text
}
}
},
{
"ContactZip",
new ColumnExpression()
{
ExpressionType = EntitySchemaQueryExpressionType.Parameter,
ColumnPath = "Zip",
Parameter = new Terrasoft.Nui.ServiceModel.DataContract.Parameter()
{
Value = item.StoreZipCode,
DataValueType = DataValueType.Text
}
}
}
}
}
};
am I doing something wrong? Please guide.

Dear Riddhi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to add data to the “Contact” and “ContactAddress” tables simultaneously using the approach that was described early. However, we can offer two ways solving the issue:
1. In order to add data via DataService please do the following:
-Create custom columns in the “Contact” object for storing the corresponding address values.
-Create a business process that will take the values from these columns and add them to the corresponding columns from the “ContactAddress” table.
Please note that we do not recommend using DataService for adding data to the database.
2. Create a web service for adding data. This approach is recommended for solving such types of the issues.
Best regards,
Norton

Thanks, Norton. Can you please provide any reference link or example for adding records with web service? It would be really grateful.
