Sitecore Commerce Plugin.Sample.Notes EntityVersion issue

Question

If anyone follows the Sitecore KB article https://kb.sitecore.net/articles/083614, "How to extend Catalog system entities schema in Sitecore Experience Commerce 9.0", you may encounter the issue where your plugin does not update correctly. I was able to load the plug in and make edits, but the main sellable item user interface was not updating correctly.

Answer 1

I discovered that it was updating entityversion 1 in the database; not the current version I was working with. I tracked this back to a section in code in the Get[PlugInName]ViewBlock. This was corrected by adding the EntityVersion field in the code section below:

var view = new EntityView
                {
                    Name = context.GetPolicy<Known[PluginName]ViewsPolicy>().[PluginName],
                    DisplayName = "[PluginName]",
                    EntityId = arg.EntityId,
                    ItemId = variationId,
                    EntityVersion = arg.EntityVersion
                };
