Set lookup field to custom view with setDefaultView

Posted on by fishyjj

I'm trying to set the "customerid" lookup field on the case form to a particular custom view that I've created. I am trying to use:

Xrm.Page.getControl("customerid").setDefaultView(viewGuid);

I believe I have the correct guid for the custom view I have created, but the lookup filter is not changing. The view I want to be used as the lookup is a view I created on the contact entity. Am I doing anything obviously wrong here? How might I go about accomplishing this? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks for your reply. This article addresses something slightly different than what I am trying to do. I have already created a view through configuration. When I use setDefaultView, and then open up the lookup dialogue, it works to show my view. BUT when I just search in the lookup, or just drop down the lookup, the proper filter is not applied. Do you know of any way to apply the filter that is used on the view I have already created?

    Hi,

     it could be that customerid lookup control will display data from the account/contact lookup views rather than from your view (since you can't configure a view for the customer lookup in the control properties). But a combination of addPreSearch/addCustomFilter might still work:
