Using FetchXML with associated link-entity alias returns unexpected response values

[chuckokerstrom]

Using the following fetchxml statement the results for the linked attributes (those referred to with an alias of 'td') are returned as "td_x002e_gr_amount". So instead of returning 'td.{attribute name} as expected this additional 'x002e' string is embedded. This string value appears to be consistent (so far) for any aliased attributes. Is there a reason for this? Is there a flag or option that I'm missing?

Regards,

Chuck

Ok weird, the Xml code got removed. Here it is now...

Hi @chuckokerstrom ,
Yes, symbol x002e is an actual dot . but encoded, it is done to avoid JSON parsing errors. So, the actual response contains it.

At this moment DynamicsWebApi, does not decode such symbols, so you will need to use td_x002e_gr_amount to get the value. I did not notice that before, so I will implement a decoding in the next release and you will be able to use 'td.gr_amount`.

Thank you for submitting the issue!

Just to close the loop on this. I've installed the new release and it solves the issue. Thanks, Chuck
