I have a simple plugin for a custom entity that is set to trigger on Update of my custom entity. It is registered in the Post Operation stage. I have noticed some strange behaviour when I make changes to the Owner field of the record in addition to other standard fields (e.g. text boxes, dates etc).
The plugin fires the first time and the only attributes that come across in the image are all the regular fields. The owner field does not come across.
The plugin then fires again, but the Depth property of the context is still only one (i.e. the plugin is not getting triggered by changes made in the plugin code). In this run of the plugin, the attribute that come across is only the Owner field.
My theory is that because the owner fields are 'special', the CRM is doing two different requests - one to change the regular fields, and then another request for changing the owner via an AssignRequest. However, I cannot find any 'official' documentation for this behaviour.
Can someone explain why this is happening?
I am running Dynamcs CRM 2013 UR2
