Custom field value is not getting updated when importing an entity

Hi all,

I have added a custom field in a table and included in the data entity extension. I have also added the same field in data entity staging table and the form. In d365 I did a full build & sync after adding this field and went to data management > Framework parameters > Refreshed the entity. However on importing the entity this custom field value is not flowing in as expected. Can anyone please help me regarding any other steps I can follow? I have tried deleting & re adding the entity in Data entity, and also tried generating the mapping from scratch.

Do you see the field in source mapping? You won’t if you’re using an import project created before adding the field.

it is showing in the mapping

Does it get imported to staging? This will tell you in which part of the process you must look for the problem.

yup, on debugging I can see its coming to staging

howevver I dont see the value at table level though its a mapped field

Does it mean that it doesn’t get saved to staging?

Where do you see the value in debugger?

I am checking postTarget method, there the data is coming in staging table

SInce it was a composite entity, I went to the composite entity > individual entity > generate mapping & it worked for me

Thanks Martin
