I found this article useful.

I hope this helps.

If you want to bulk update the primary contacts “company name” field value in all the contacts records.

Then the below code is helpful:

public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
        {
            // Obtain the execution context from the service provider.
            IPluginExecutionContext context =
                (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

            // Get a reference to the Organization service.
            IOrganizationServiceFactory factory =
                (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
            IOrganizationService service = factory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
            Entity entity;
            if (context.InputParameters != null)
            {
                entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters[“Target”];

                string fetchXML = @”<fetch version=’1.0′ output-format=’xml-platform’ mapping=’logical’ distinct=’false’>
              <entity name=’account’>
                <attribute name=’name’ />
                <attribute name=’primarycontactid’ />
                <attribute name=’telephone1′ />
                <attribute name=’accountnumber’ />
                <attribute name=’accountid’ />
                <order attribute=’name’ descending=’false’ />
                <filter type=’and’>
                  <condition attribute=’primarycontactid’ operator=’not-null’ />
                </filter>
                <link-entity name=’contact’ from=’contactid’ to=’primarycontactid’ alias=’PrimaryContact’>
                  <attribute name=’parentcustomerid’  />

                    <attribute name=’contactid’ alias=’contact’/>
                  <filter type=’and’>
                    <condition attribute=’parentcustomerid’ operator=’null’ />
                  </filter>
                </link-entity>
              </entity>
            </fetch>”;
           
                EntityCollection entityCollection = service.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(fetchXML));
                for (int i = 0; i < entityCollection.Entities.Count; i++)
                {
                 
                        Entity contact = new Entity(“contact”);
                        contact.Attributes[“parentcustomerid”] = new EntityReference(entityCollection.Entities[i].LogicalName, entityCollection.Entities[i].Id);
                        contact.Attributes[“contactid”] = entityCollection.Entities[i].GetAttributeValue<AliasedValue>(“PrimaryContact.contactid”).Value;
                        service.Update(contact);
                 
                   
                }
            }
            else
            {
                return;
            }
        }
