  ‘Cannot insert duplicate key’ when cloning Activities - Dynamics 365 Sales Community

  […] The other day I was in need of cloning Activities from a Lead to an existing Contact. As it seems, this is not standard behavior of CRM when qualifying to an Existing Contact only and NOT to an Opportunity. Of course I immediately thought of the cloning extension method that Wouter posted on our blog a while ago. I’m not going into details about it, instead you can find it here. […]

  Thanks for tip Michel. I actually have most of these methods in a ManagerBase class that i initiate for every plugin. implementation is a bit different, but the purpose is the same

  Maybe you can use this:

  public static class IPluginExecutionContextExtension
      {
          public static Entity RetrieveEntity(this IPluginExecutionContext context)
          {
              return (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity) ? (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"] : null;
          }
  
          public static EntityReference RetrieveEntityReference(this IPluginExecutionContext context)
          {
              return (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is EntityReference) ? (EntityReference)context.InputParameters["Target"] : null;
          }
  
          public static Entity RetrievePreImageEntity(this IPluginExecutionContext context, string preImageName)
          {
              return (context.PreEntityImages.Contains(preImageName) && context.PreEntityImages[preImageName] is Entity) ? (Entity)context.PreEntityImages[preImageName] : null;
          }
  
          public static Relationship RetrieveRelationship(this IPluginExecutionContext context)
          {
              return (context.InputParameters.Contains("Relationship") && context.InputParameters["Relationship"] is Relationship) ? (Relationship)context.InputParameters["Relationship"] : null;
          }
  
          public static EntityReferenceCollection RetrieveRelatedEntities(this IPluginExecutionContext context)
          {
              return (context.InputParameters.Contains("RelatedEntities") && context.InputParameters["RelatedEntities"] is EntityReferenceCollection) ? (EntityReferenceCollection)context.InputParameters["RelatedEntities"] : null;
          }
      }
