Cause

According to C4C OData API, the Default Indicator/ Default External ID cannot be created and updated. Therefore, it is not possible to update the ID mapping which are not created via OData using Data Workbench work center.

The update with OData depends on the external key (OData ID Mapping). As a result, the records which are not created via OData will not have this external key. Hence, it is not possible to update the ID mapping which are not created via OData using Data Workbench work center.

Therefore, we suggest creating new ID mapping creation via DWB and not updating any records using Data Workbench work center. If any update is triggered, it will create a duplicate mapping.

In addition to it, the update of Default Indicator via OData service has been restricted. This has been done to prevent creating wrong data in the system

Resolution

The only possibility to update the Default External ID/ Default Indicator is via UI.
