Hello, please tell me what could be wrong.
On one of the environments, the function for getting the guid for the lookup field stopped working. Instead of the ID, I get the name. On another environment all fine.

How can this be fixed? I tried the option through XRM and FormContex. The result is the same

please check my screenshot, pay attention on nav_parentaccountid, problem only with this custom entity, with other entity there is everything works fine

Is nav_parentaccountid a Virtual Entity? Or any customize code on it?
The normal lookup field does not have so many property return in getValue():

hello Ray, thx for your question.

nav_parentaccountid it is lookup field to custom entity (not virtual entity)

yes I have several customization in this field but all of them stopped working.

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var parentContractId = formContext.getAttribute("nav_parentcontractid").getValue()[0].id; //here I got name record, not ID of record

also I found that this bug is present only when saving a new record. When I'm trying update record - all works fine

I figureout....

It was my fall, I did custom view and did

layoutXML = "<grid name='resultset' object='1' jump='nav_number' select='1' icon='1' preview='1'>" +
           "<row name='result' id='nav_name'>" + //should be nav_contractid
"<cell name='nav_number' width='150' />" +
"<cell name='nav_signedon' width='150' />" +
"<cell name='nav_startdate' width='150' />" +
           "<cell name='nav_enddate' width='150' />" +
           "</row>" +
           "</grid>";
