You can try

var name = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('<FIELD_NAME>').getValue()[0].name;

(you can also use "id": Xrm.Page.getAttribute('<FIELD_NAME>').getValue()[0].id;)

EDIT: Of course I forgot to put getValue there - updated the examples.. Thanks Deepthi Thotakura

Hi ,

If you are using to get lookup details through JavaScript , Here is example :

if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue() != null) {

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

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

var CustomerType = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("feildname ").getValue()[0].entityType;

}

//Display the lookup name

alert(CustomerName);

I hope this helps you replace fieldname with your lookup field name in Form

let me know if you find any errors.

Thanks ,

Deepthi

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.

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?

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;
