Portal Entity List - Get linked entity value via custom javascript

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by terryharrison 55

Hi all,

I have an entity list that will display something like the below:

This is from a CRM view and as you can see the Qualification Aim code is a linked entity. Within the custom JavaScript for this entity list im trying to iterate through the rows and get this qualification aim value.

So a simplified version of the code would be as below. This shows me getting the title field which works fine but using the attribute name for the Qualification aim doesn't work.

Any ideas on how I get this or how I can drill down to child entities JavaScript or liquid?

many thanks.

    Hi,

    The easiest way is to use developer console and find the data-attribute value within the rendered lis.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks Ravi,

    Im trying to find the data attribute names in dev console. Im querying $(this) in the console but cant find where they are stored. debugging the jquery shows what I think it should be as undefined.

    can you advise where I find the actual data attribute names are that the view is using?

    Thanks

    I have a similar requirement but it is to get the GUID of the linked entity

    not sure the same code work for Option Set, but give it a try, I am storing the object as a json and than getting the ID:

    var JSONObject = JSON.parse(list.find('[data-attribute="uow_title"]').attr("data-value"));

    var value = JSONObject.Id;

    Thanks, I've worked this out now. The field name for related entity was prefixed with aa. so I had to use aa.uow_qualificationaimcode.
