Hi, I followed the same instruction found on this link:

https://community.dynamics.com/365/b/dynamics365enterprisecloudfronts/posts/filter-customer-type-field-to-display-only-accounts-in-d365-v9-0-using-javascript

Im using field named "customerid" instead. However, when accessing getEntityTypes(), it gives me an error.

The only available functions are below:

Is there any wrong on how I write the code or maybe due to version of the CRM?

Thank you in advance

Hello Jerome,

That's weird because it seems this function was added in 8.1 version - dreamingincrm.com/.../

If it's not available I would recommend to take a look on the alternative way to restrict the values available to a lookup control - powerobjects.com/.../

Hi Andrew,

The solution you provided seems good since it could not display Contact records. I came up with the solution with some modifications:

function defaultcustomer(){

Xrm.Page.getControl("customerid").addPreSearch(addFilter);

}

function addFilter()

{

var customerAccountFilter = "<filter type='and'><condition attribute='contactid' operator='null' /></filter>";

Xrm.Page.getControl("customerid").addCustomFilter(customerAccountFilter, "contact");

}

If there is a way that it can hide the Contact from the dropdown list, it would be much better.

Thanks,

Jerome

Jerome,

If getEntityTypes is not there - you can't make it appear, unfortunately.

If my reply (or replies) answers your question take a minute and verify the answer. You can do it by clicking "Yes" at the top of the reply (or replies) under the label "Does this answer your question?"
