    Thanks Guido for the quick reply. However, I am using the script inside the account form. I have also tried debugging using the web developer console and the response is the same. If you have CRM 2015 Press F12 and type frames[0].Xrm.Page.ui / data in the response and tell what you get.

    Thanks again

    There are no single form type attached to the form. And this is not just happening to one environment. I have tried 3CRM 2015 environment and the behaviour is the same. And this behaviour is different for 2013. This seems to be a bug in 2015.

    I meant to say there are no single script on the form, and akso its not one form. I tried alert(Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType()); I got "Unable to get property 'getFormType' of undefined or null reference".

    I turned to the console when the script I wrote to fire in the form wouldnt fire. I just wanted to the reaction of the code using the console.

    BTW using frames[1] worked using the console.

    Here below is the code that will not fire, please advice

    function preFilterSubCategoryLookup()

    {

    Xrm.Page.getControl("py3_category").addPreSearch(function () {

    var categoryObject = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("py3_category").getValue();

    // Get the lookup Object, and extract the Value (ID and Text)

    if(categoryObject != null)

    {

    var categoryTextValue = categoryObject[0].name;

    var categoryID = categoryObject[0].id;

    // Filter the Sub Category by Parent Category

    fetchXml = "<filter type='and'><condition attribute='py3_parentcategory' operator='eq' uiname='" + categoryTextValue + "' uitype='py3_category' value='" + categoryID + "' /></filter>";

    // Apply the filter to the field

    Xrm.Page.getControl("py3_subcategory").addCustomFilter(fetchXml);

    }

    });

    }

    Thank you once agian Guido. However I am trying to impliment a dependent lookup with self referencial entity and then apply a filtered lookup. The code above is basically for filtered lookup, and its the new approach with 2015.
