When trying to set a custom attribute on the Organisation workspace using an Addin, some strange behaviour occurs. The Attribute I am trying to set is an integer attribute linked to the contacts table.
I use the following code to set the attribute;
OrgRecord = _recordContext.GetWorkspaceRecord(WorkspaceRecordType.Organization) as IOrganization;
IList<ICustomAttribute> CustomAttributes = OrgRecord.CustomAttributes;
CA = CustomAttributes.First(c => c.GenericField.Name == "FieldName");
CA.GenericField.DataValue.Value = 123456;
When the Attribute is empty and I try to update it, nothing happens. During debugging I see that the Datavalue.Value is set to null before update. After update it is set to 0, regardless of the value I use.
Now when I update it twice, once with 0 and the second time with the value I want;
CA.GenericField.DataValue.Value = 0;
CA.GenericField.DataValue.Value = 123456;
It gets set! This seems like a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
