QQ – Has anyone here managed to create a list item in an external list using a REST call?
Post your call if you have, having issues myself with 201 success status returning a null ID.
Also feel free to give some love to the same question I found in Stack Exchange:
I am facing the same issue while creating an item using REST services.
The response is absolutely same a mentioned here.
Were you able to figure out the fix for this ? or any other workaround ??
Your feedback is much appreciated !!
The response is a standard success response, however the ID is null in all locations it is referenced. Here is the beginning:
“d”: {
“__metadata”: {
“id”: “Web/Lists(guid’22b795f3-34d8-406b-9801-0fa826b42777′)/GetItemByStringId(null)”,
“uri”: “https://samplesite/_api/Web/Lists(guid’22b795f3-34d8-406b-9801-0fa826b42777′)/GetItemByStringId(null)”,
“type”: “SP.Data.BCS_x005f_ListItem”
},……………….
While there is a successful response, no list item is created on the External List.
Thanks for the help!
Is the response missing all of the info for the new list item or is the data not actually saved on the backend for your WCF service?
