**** Every time I think I have made it something else throws me a curve. ****

Could someone please help me with this issue.

I have reviewed this link https://us.hitachi-solutions.com/blog/no-name-mapping-mystery-solved/ and I do not understand it.

I have an object that I'm creating in javascript to create a entity record. If the Technician2Id is blank or null set the attribute. Very simple.

var caseDSObject = {};

if (caseArray[0].new_Technician2Id.Id != null && caseArray[0].new_Technician2Id.Id != "") {
   caseDSObject.new_Technician2Id = { "Id": caseArray[0].new_Technician2Id.Id, "LogicalName": "systemuser", "Name": caseArray[0].new_Technician2Id.Name };
} else {
   caseDSObject.new_Technician2Id = null;
}

My problem is that when I leave it blank. I am getting this error message that I can't seem to fix.

RE: How do you fix the error message (No Name)

Hi,

If this error happened when JS is loading, something wrong with your JS.

Refer below article on how to set a lookup field.

Refer below article on how to clear a lookup field.

RE: How do you fix the error message (No Name)

Thanks for the response. I know how to create lookup fields using javascript. I have never seen this (No Name) before.

var caseDSobject = ""; caseDSObject.new_name = results[0].new_name; caseDSObject.new_CaseId = { "Id": caseId, "LogicalName": "incident", "Name": iCaseTitle }; caseDSObject.new_DataSheetTemplateId = { "Id": results[0].new_datasheettemplateId, "LogicalName": "new_datasheettemplate", "Name": results[0].new_name }; caseDSObject.new_EngineerId = { "Id": caseArray[0].new_EngineerId.Id, "LogicalName": "systemuser", "Name": caseArray[0].new_EngineerId.Name }; caseDSObject.new_Technician1Id = { "Id": caseArray[0].new_Technician1Id.Id, "LogicalName": "systemuser", "Name": caseArray[0].new_Technician1Id.Name }; if (caseArray.length > 0) { if (caseArray[0].new_Technician2Id.Id != null && caseArray[0].new_Technician2Id.Id != "") { caseDSObject.new_Technician2Id = { "Id": caseArray[0].new_Technician2Id.Id, "LogicalName": "systemuser", "Name": caseArray[0].new_Technician2Id.Name }; } else { caseDSObject.new_Technician2Id = null; } } SDK.REST.createRecord(caseDSObject, "new_casedatasheettemplate", caseDataSheetTemplateCallBack, caseDataSheetTemplateError);

When setting the new_Technician2Id to null is causing the below error message.

The above code in red is causing this error message.

Thanks Wei,

You were right. I has some other code in my javascript that was not define correctly. The statement should have been

if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_technician2id").getValue() == null) { lookup = results.new_Technician2Id; if (lookup != null) { lookup = results.new_Technician2Id; fieldName = "new_technician2id"; fieldId = lookup.Id; valueName = lookup.Name; entityType = lookup.LogicalName; SetLookupValue(fieldName, fieldId, valueName, entityType); } }

The correct statement should have been Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_technician2id").getValue() != null)

RE: How do you fix the error message (No Name)

Not sure if you resolved this @rthompson, but this little function always works for me. If you use this and still have issues, verify that the value passed in as 'name' is not null or an empty string.

function SetLookupValue(formContext, attributeName, id, name, entityType) {

if (attributeName !== null) {

try {

var oAttribute = formContext.data.entity.attributes.get(attributeName);

if (oAttribute != null) {

var lookupValue = new Array();

lookupValue[0] = new Object();

lookupValue[0].id = id;

lookupValue[0].name = name;

lookupValue[0].entityType = entityType;

oAttribute.setValue(lookupValue);

}

}

catch (err) { //do nothing }

}

}
