Contact Field Disappears on Incident Form Reload in Dynamics 365

Posted on by danimr

When I create an incident in Dynamics 365, I fill in the contact field (responsiblecontactid) in the incident form, and this data appears correctly in the database. The issue arises when I reload the page; the contact no longer appears visually, even though it is still present in the database. The same happens if I access the incident directly through its link. However, if I access it organically by navigating through the list of incidents and then clicking on the specific incident, the contact does appear. This happens in both the test and production environments. What could be causing this?

Hello danimr,

This may be a unique issue you are having.

For testing purpose, activate the auditing on Contact lookup field (also in system and form/table level as well) and update record with correct value.

Reopen the record and check audit logs, you may be able to identify if system is clearing this value through some automation.

You can also try to create another Contact looking (just for testing purpose) to see the behavior.

I don't see the data in advanced search. The record appears in the database. The problem occurs when trying to display it in the form.

Can you view the data for this field using Advanced Find?

If not, then check the dependencies on this field. You may find various out-of-the-box (OOB) components that could be causing the issue.

I tested it on a form that has no scripts, no business rules. It's completely new, and the error persists. The data is saved in the database, but it does not display on the form when accessed via a link to the case or if the case is refreshed with F5.

It's not just on my computer; it happens everywhere and regardless of the browser.

Hi There,

Looks like a browser cache issue to me. Did you tried clearing the cache?

Could you confirm if the data is visible in Advanced Find but not on the form?

If so, please check for any JavaScript logic that might be running on Form Load.

If the data is blank in both places, then some logic may be setting the contact field to null. Please review the following:

1. Any JavaScript on form load or on save.

2. Any workflow or plugin that could be setting this field to null.

3. Business rules.

4. Power automated flows.
