RE: get lookup field value through javascript

What is the [0] for?

The lookups are implemented as arrays. So to read them you have to access the first member -- [0]. The only time you might find [1]...[n] is with ActivityParties -- To, From, CC, BCC fields on activities -- which may actually hold more than one.

And, no. The structures on the array are always id/name/entityType. (Exactly enough to form a hyperlink to the record!)

Hi,

try these:-

var Id = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].id;

var Name = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].name;

or Can Use if not work(Use window.parent. before Xrm)

var Id = window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].id;

var rName = window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].name;

Hello , I currently need help and have multiple questions about this.

What is the [0] for?

Let's say I want to get something else than the name, can i use "getValue()[0].customfield" to get the custom field in question?

Additional info.

You have to check first if the field is not null before getting its value otherwise you will get a JavaScript error.

if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName) != null)

var id = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName).getValue()[0].id; // If you would like to get the id of the record on the lookup field.
