    A Cosmans' journey into Microsoft Dynamics CRM!

    Jason M. Cosman Jason M. Cosman
    on 15 Mar 2016 2:38 PM

    In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 a new field type of composite field came out. This is a single field that appears on for form but when you click into it it pops out with multiple fields.

    The user experience is fantastic but the disappointing thing about this field type is that it is only in place for certainly out of the box fields. We can't take advantage of this feature at this time for our custom fields. I hope that we will see in the future this functionality expanded out.

    The entity and fields that use this are listed here at: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn481581.aspx

    Ship To Address

    shipto_composite

    Invoice

    Bill To Address

    billto_composite

    Ship To Address

    shipto_composite

    One of the great things about composite fields are that we can still interact with them via javascript on the form. MSDN has a great article on this at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn481581.aspx . It goes in-depth on how to write scripts around these fields and there attributes.

    I hope you found this informative as composite fields don't always come up in more conversations around Dynamics CRM but it's important to know what they are!

    Hi Jason,

    I wish to add Autocomplete  on  Sales-> Account-> Contact section in CRM 365 .

    In Contact section there are Address Filed[ this is "address1_composite"] , which contain country,State,Pincode and many more.

    I wish to  autocomplete  on Key press of country.

    ex:-  Xrm.Page.getControl("address1_composite_compositionLinkControl_address1_country_i").addOnKeyPress(KeyPressDataLoad);

    I am trying but getting error "Cannot read property 'addOnKeyPress' of null".

    Please help me out.

    Thanks
