Get attribute value from entities CRM online

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all, I use web service to get attributes, but always from the same entity where the page is when the web service is executed.

I use: Xrm.Page.getAttribute("attribute_name").getValue();

But what I want to do is for example execute a web service in quote entity and get attributes from opportunity entity, or product quote, or any other entity ....

Anyone knows how can I do this? I´m using CRM 2016 online.

Thanks a lot,

Idoia

Hi,

You can use tool to generate the query and start referring SDK for better Understanding ( Client Side Scripting )

Hello,

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("attribute_name").getValue(); Here you are not using web service call. You can write OData or Web API to get required entity records.

Download CRK SDK you will see sample question there, you can also look sample code in our blog http://himbap.com/blog

You can also refer this tool as suggested by others: crmrestbuilder.codeplex.com

Thanks

Yadnyesh, Vijay and Himbap thanks for all you answer, probably all your answer are correct, but unfortunately i don´t have the enough knowledge to do it, I´m new in crm, I have check the resources you mentioned but I coulnd´t resolve my problem.

I thought maybe there was an easy way to do that like we use :

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("attribute_name").getValue();

just in one js sentence can indicate the instance we want instead 'Page'.

Maybe using fetchXML I can work with attributes of other entities?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

You can't get attributes from other entity without making service when working with code. Not sure what is your actual requirement, in case you have requirement to show some addition fields from related entity which is related to 1:N relationship you can use quick view form. You can read more details here:

Hope it will help.

Thanks
