Hello,
I have three entities; Project, Product and Contact (Default entity).
Project entity can have multiple Products but a product can only belong for one project (1:N relation)
Product can have multiple contacts and a contact can belong to multiple products (N:N relation).
What I'm trying to do is to create a FetchXML query which will return every contact that belong to any products that belong to this particular project. I'm doing this inside a Project form so I know the ProjectId.
But I'm stuck. I'm not really familiar with FetchXML yet. I tried to Google and stuff with no success. Probable this is clear for you so I hope you could help me.
What I have achieved so far is a FetchXML query that will return all contacts that are related to any products. So I'm halfway there I guess. Now I should only add a condition where it would return only the contacts that are related to this project's products right?
Anyway, here is my FetchXML so far
<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'><entity name='contact'> <attribute name='contactid' /><attribute name='fullname' /><attribute name='jobtitle' /><attribute name='cre_role' /><attribute name='cre_stakeholder' /><attribute name='address1_city' /> <order attribute='fullname' descending='false' /> <link-entity name='cre_contact_cre_product' from='contactid' to='contactid' alias='aa'></link-entity></entity></fetch>
If you wonder the link-entity name 'cre_contact_cre_product' it's because Product - Contact relationship is N:N and thus I have to use intersect entity (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg309538.aspx)
So the code above works in a way that it returns every contact in CRM that is related to any product. So how should I continue? I tried almost everything. I guess I have to add one more link-entity inside the current link-entity there...
I tried something like this without success
<link-entity name='cre_project' from='cre_productid' to='cre_productid' alias='bb'><filter type='and'> <condition attribute='cre_projectid' operator='eq' uiname='Contact' uitype='contact' value='" + projectid + "' /> </filter></link-entity>
Thank you in advance!
