Posted on by AM-22040756-1 407

Dear Expertise,

I Implement a code which set the value for Lookup field.

On Opportunity Entity I have a field Account as a look. As per business requirement, I have to add a Ribbon Button on Account Form which will create a new opportunity and set Account field on Opportunity. I tried to set the value on account field of opportunity but when it get set it say 'No Name'. 

Save and refresh the Opportunity will show the correct value on it but when redirect from Account to Opportunity it show 'No Name'

https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/291889 - reference. i don't how to incorporate this code.

    Hi Aniket,

    Please post the script you are using to set the lookup value.

    function OpenNewOpportyFromAcc() {

          debugger;

      var parameters = {};

            if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() != null) {

              parameters["parentaccountid"] = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();          

          }  

          Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("opportunity", null, parameters);

    }

    Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() - this will give me record ID of Account.

    parentaccountid - is the attribute on Opportunity which is lookup

    Hi Aniket,

    in your parameter pass on more field :

    var parameters = {};

           if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() != null) {

             parameters["parentaccountid"] = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();      

             parameters["parentaccountidname"] = "name of the record"

         }  

    to get the name of the record you can simply retrieve the name of the current record from name field "Xrm.Page.getAttribute(namefield)"

    hope this helps!

    i already faced that problem before that on the lookup field it shows "No name" on the lookup field but when I click the lookup field (No name) it goes to the correct value. All you need to to is you need to pass the value on the name field on that entity. for example on the Owner field just set a an event on the "On change event" to auto pass the value on the name field.

    Hope this solution will help you

    getname: function() {

    if(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("owner").getValue() != null){

    var nameValue= Xrm.Page.getAttribute("owner");

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").setValue(nameValue);

    }

    add this on code on the onChange event

    Hi,

    When you setting value to lookup using JavaScript and not not adding lookup name, then "No name" will be shown.

    Once record is saved CRM will pull lookup name / text value and will be displayed in lookup field.

    you need to pass lookup name also

    parameters["accountidname"] = "Account name";

    hope this will help..

    Same issue with on-premise version 9.0.8. Can we focus on getting Microsoft fix this issue (as it is clearly an issue easily solved) instead of having to use workaround. What would be correct place to report bug?
