Issue with entity\isNew() method failing to retrieve ID

[lj4353]

When I create a user, I want to create a piece of data, but the newly created user.id cannot be obtained.

Make sure that the name of the entity is correct (EmployeeInfo) -> you can check the name under administration > Entity Manager > Employee, also you should use AssignedUserId so it should be as below:

if(entity\isNew()) {
    record\create('EmployeeInfo', 'assignedUserId', id, 'joiningDate', datetime\today(), 'baseSalary', 150000);
}​

Id might not have been initialized yet by the time of execution of this formula script. Do you use before save script or after save workflow?

You are right, id will not be available because all espocrm formula is a before save script which means it is applied before the record is created and saved in db. I think in this case you might want to reach to a afterSave hook which will be perfect for this scenario https://docs.espocrm.com/development/hooks/
