How to set optionset value as selected using JS

Posted on by RaphaelMG

Hello all,

This is my issue :

When a user selects an option for which he does not have the authorizations, an error message appears as an alert (it's okay up here).

Then, I would like another optionset to be selected to replace the one the user has chosen.

This is the codes I have tried but that didn't work for me :

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("NameOfMyField").setValue(null); //Here I have even tried to replace the null value by the one of another optionset like ("860330002") but unsuccessfull

I've tried as well : Xrm.Page.Data.Entity.Attributes.Get("nameofmyfield").setValue(null); //Did not work for me as well

Need support ASAP to solve an issue for a customer.

Thanks

Hi,

Can you please try setting -1 value as below

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("NameOfMyField").setValue(-1);

Since you are on CRM Online then why don't you use formcontext instead of Xrm.Page because Xrm.Page is deprecated.

Hi Bipin Kumar

Thanks for your update. I've tried using setValue(-1) as you suggested me but it did not work.

I found out that by removing the alert() function from the code (which warns the user that he doesn't have the right to make this change), everything works fine.

I don't understand how this could block the normal execution of the function shared above : Xrm.Page.Data.Entity.Attributes.Get("nameofmyfield").setValue(null);

Since there was an urgency to unblock the client and it worked, I can look into your recommendation to use formcontext and do some testing, Since the user must have a warning message.

Thanks for your feedback

Hi RaphaelMG,

write the below lines to set the value:

formContext.getAttribute("NameOfMyField").setSubmitMode("always");//details

formContext.getAttribute("NameOfMyField").setValue(value);// details.

formContext.data.save().then(successCallback, errorCallback);//details

Hi,

So you need to first set null value then show warning message.
