Consider the following scenario. You create a custom entity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0. Then, you relate the custom entity to an organization entity or to another custom entity.

Invalid Argument.
Additionally, if you have enabled platform tracing, you also receive an error message in the trace log file that resembles the following:
<description>The specified attribute does not exist on this entity.</description><details>The attribute "owninguser" was not found for the entity "Entity_Name".
Note In this error message, Entity_Name is a placeholder for the actual parent entity name.
