Hi Team,
We want to retrieve a specific record by Id along with all the related elements (eg - Retrieve Account A with all of its related Contacts).
What we already know:
We can retrieve the account record itself along with related records that are linked with lookupfields, like the PrimaryContact
Account(0001111-1111-1111-1111-111111231123)?$expand=PrimaryContact($select=Name)
This works, but it returns only one contact, the primary one.
Instead, we need an embedded list of contacts, like
{
"@odata.context": myurl.creatio.com/0/odata/$metadata#Account(PrimaryContact(Name))/$entity,
"Id": "22222-222222-2222-222222-22222207ba6",
"Name": "somename",
"OwnerId": "111111-11111-11111-11111-1111111",
"CreatedOn": "2022-11-16T21:11:57.214167Z",
"Contacts“ : [
{object}, {object}
]
}
Given the first URL in the response, we expected that all NavigationProperties would behave the same:
But this collection:
Is not accessible. If we call for :
Account(0002204c-d255-46c0-bea6-0f32e2e07ba6)?$expand=ContactCollectionByAccount
We get this error in return:
{
"error": {
"code": "",
"message": "An error has occurred."
}
}
If we use other expand values, we retrieve meaningful errors like „Could not find a property named xy“, but this error is not self explaining. How can we return an object with an embedded list of children? I know that in this example we also could ask for a list of Contacts filtered by their account, but we cannot do that in all scenarios we have in mind.
Thank you
Petrika
