    Hello,

    Issue is in the line

    req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.1/contacts(ContactId)?$select=funds_personid", true);

    to be more specific - ContactId - you should provide the Id of the record you want to get instead of ContactId

    Hi, replace ContactId value as you need

    function SetTitle(executionContext) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var ticketnumber = formContext.getAttribute("ticketnumber")
    var contact = formContext.getAttribute("customerid");
    //var regardingObjectDetails = formContext.getAttribute("regardingobjectid").getValue();
    var ContactId = contact.getValue()?.[0].id.replace(/[{|}]/g, "");
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl()   `/api/data/v9.1/contacts(${ContactId})?$select=funds_personid`, true);
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    req.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\"");
    req.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (this.readyState === 4) {
            req.onreadystatechange = null;
            if (this.status === 200) {
                if (ticketnumber != null && contact != null) {

                    var result = JSON.parse(this.response);
                    var funds_personid = result["funds_personid"];
                    var Ticket = ticketnumber.getValue();
                    var con = contact.getValue()[0].name;
                    var title = formContext.getAttribute("title").setValue(Ticket   " "   con   " "   funds_personid)
                }
            } else {
                Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);
            }
        }
    };
    req.send();
}

    regards.

    Hi,

    I have modified your code. Please replace your code with the code below. 

    This will solve your issue.

    function SetTitle(executionContext) {
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    var ticketnumber = formContext.getAttribute("ticketnumber")
    var contact = formContext.getAttribute("customerid").getValue()[0].id.replace("{", "").replace("}", "");
    //var regardingObjectDetails = formContext.getAttribute("regardingobjectid").getValue();
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.1/contacts(" + contact + ")?$select=funds_personid", true);
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    req.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\"");
    req.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if (this.readyState === 4) {
    req.onreadystatechange = null;
    if (this.status === 200) {
    if (ticketnumber != null && contact != null) {

    var result = JSON.parse(this.response);
    var funds_personid = result["funds_personid"];
    var Ticket = ticketnumber.getValue();
    var con = contact.getValue()[0].name;
    var title = formContext.getAttribute("title").setValue(Ticket + " " + con + " " + funds_personid)
    }
    } else {
    Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);
    }
    }
    };
    req.send();
    }

    Thanks

    Akanksha

    I idea was not to hard code specific contact record ID  it but get the person id based on customer Id select which is a look up to contact
