Issues updating EntityReference in a Record about xrm.crm.webapi HOT 3 CLOSED

Ok, I figured it out after stumbling over this blog post here: Apparently for lookup fields you have to use the Schema Name, not the name of the field, which has upper case characters in my case. So it works like this:

lead["tv_Language"] = language;
lead["tv_SpokenLanguage"] = language;

But this is only true for lookup fields. All the other fields have to be in lowercase!

This is really weird IMHO but not a problem with the lib.

Hi @zaha!

Sorry I couldn't help in time.
We had some problems like these.
Some fields have the same 'Schema Name' and 'Field Name'. Some don't.

I'm trying to implement a work around for this behaior.
The lib can download the metada and using the entity name plus the field name to find the Schema Name.
The only downside is it will take longer to load since it needs to download more data from the api.

I documented it on this issue:
#3

But I din't had the time to implement. I'll try to get back to it.

@RafaelCavazza Any chance you can fix this soon?
Being able to set lookup fields is essential for my work.
