I am trying to create entity group record via script. I am using record.create api to create entity group record. But in record.type enum, I don't see 'entitygroup' parameter value. How it can be done? Please advice.

This is function to create entity group record,

    function entityGroupCreation(name, subAbbrev, searchId){
    var entityGroupRec = record.create({ type: 'entitygroup' });
        log.debug("entityGroupRec",entityGroupRec);
        entityGroupRec.setValue('grouptype', 'Employee');
        entityGroupRec.setValue('dynamic', true);
        entityGroupRec.setValue('groupname', `${subAbbrev} Folder Grp - ${name}`);
        entityGroupRec.setValue('savedsearch', searchId);
        return entityGroupRec.save({ enableSourcing: true, ignoreMandatoryFields: true });
    }

• What happens when you run this code? Do you get an error? entitygroup is the correct ID according to the Record Browser. I don't see grouptype or dynamic as valid field IDs, so those might cause problems, but the record type you have is correct. You aren't forced to use the enumeration. – erictgrubaugh Commented Jan 29 at 17:06
• When I add type as employee, record gets Created but not working for entity group record. Also I can create entity group record manually. – Maira S Commented Jan 30 at 4:00

Script worked when I used record.create api as below:

record.create({ type: 'entitygroup', defaultValues: { grouptype: 'Employee', Dynamic: true } });

Need to add mandatory fields in the default values.
