(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

When user save and close a CRM form, I wish to remember the value of a field entered by user
via javascript like

localStorage.setItem("last_field", Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field").getValue());

But how to do the same for a lookup field as the value is now an EntityReference object?

Please advise.

    Hi Tiong,

    actually it is the same call...

    when you do:

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute('new_invoiceperiodid').getValue()[0].id

    you get the id of the entityreference.  

    I hope this helps

    Hi,

    var id = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('yourentitylookup').getValue()[0].id;

    var name = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('yourentitylookup').getValue()[0].name;

    I got it done via:

    localStorage.setItem("last_value", JSON.stringify(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field").getValue()));

    and get back via

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_field").setValue(JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("last_value")));
