SYMPTOMS

The DynamicEntity XML code that you create by using the Opportunity form differs from the DynamicEntity XML code that you create by using the Marketing List form in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0. This problem occurs even though you use methods that are documented in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Software Development Kit (SDK) to capture the DynamicEntity XML that is generated when an opportunity is created in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0.

When the opportunity is created by using by using the Create Opportunity functionality on the Opportunity form, the DynamicEntity XML contains text that resembles the following code example.
<Property xsi:type="CustomerProperty" Name="customerid">
     <Value type="account">{A7DAB4C6-E477-DA11-AD18-000874DE7397}</Value>
</Property>
When the opportunity is created by using the Create Opportunity functionality on the Marketing List form, the DynamicEntity XML contains text that resembles the following code example.
<Property xsi:type="LookupProperty" Name="customerid">
     <Value type="account">{A7DAB4C6-E477-DA11-AD18-000874DE7397}</Value>
</Property>

CAUSE

This problem occurs because different property types are used for the customerid attribute when the opportunity is created. The LookupProperty property type can be used for many different entities. The LookupProperty property type produces XML that is passed to the Edit.aspx page of the opportunity. This XML resembles the following code example.
<opportunity>
     <name>Opportunity Name</name>
     <pricelevelid type="1022">{F31BB38A-0EC0-403F-99A6-3AF469D7D76E}</pricelevelid>
     <isrevenuesystemcalculated>1</isrevenuesystemcalculated>
     <opportunityratingcode>2</opportunityratingcode>
     <statuscode>1</statuscode>
     <ownerid type="8">{E23750FB-AD71-DA11-AAAA-000D56C2E08A}</ownerid>
     <accountid>{A7DAB4C6-E477-DA11-AD18-000874DE7397}</accountid>
</opportunity>
The CustomerProperty property type is only used for accounts, for contacts, and for leads. The CustomerProperty property type produces XML that is passed to the Edit.aspx page of the opportunity. The XML resembles the following code example:
<opportunity>
     <name>Opportunity Name</name>
     <customerid type="1">{A7DAB4C6-E477-DA11-AD18-000874DE7397}</customerid>
     <pricelevelid type="1022">{F31BB38A-0EC0-403F-99A6-3AF469D7D76E}</pricelevelid>
     <isrevenuesystemcalculated>1</isrevenuesystemcalculated>
     <opportunityratingcode>2</opportunityratingcode>
     <ownerid type="8">{E23750FB-AD71-DA11-AAAA-000D56C2E08A}</ownerid>
     <statuscode>1</statuscode>
</opportunity>
