Hi All,

I am facing an isse while getting the record name from the lookup filed.

Currently i am writing a query in Fetch xml builder where i need a data from related Entity.

there is two entity Employe and Customer present in the system. Customer is a lookup field under Employee Entity.

whenever i try to write the query for getting data from Employee Entity it will return Customer Guid insted of name, for query creation i have used  fetch xml builder.

i know in C# its possible to get id and name from the lookup field. but i need to use this query on another Third party tool.

Can some one help me on this.

Regards,

Jyotsna

    Hi Jyitsna,

    FetchXML Builder have lot of personal options.

    Try checking Friendly Names or Press Cntrl + F

    To retrieve the name from the lookup field, you need to add the link entity and then select the attribute (name) from that link entity.

     

    Please refer the below screenshot –

    Hope this helps. 

     

    Thanks!
