Passing value to lookup search field programmatically

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by synthesis 212

Hello. I am using CRM 4.0. I have a custom entity (with a number of records added) which has been added to the case (incident) entity form as a lookup. When you open this lookup on the case form, you can search for specific records in the lookup by entering a value in the search field. I would like it so that through JavaScript, I could pass a certain value to this lookup search field (for e.g. to run onFormCreate), so that when I open the lookup on the case form, the value is passed to the lookup search field and only those records that match the search value are shown. Is this possible?

    There are a few ways to do it. I would first Lookup at Daniel Cai blog article about filtered lookup:

    danielcai.blogspot.com/.../crm4-filtered-lookup.html

    You can also use something like this. Don't remember exact syntax, but probably close:

    crmForm.all.fieldName.additionalParams="search=" + searchValue;

    Hope this helps.

    I initially tried crmForm.all.fieldName.additionalParams="search=" + searchValue; but it did not work, but changing additionalParams to additionalparams worked:

    crmForm.all.fieldName.additionalparams="search=" + searchValue;

    Thanks!
