WebApi retrieveMultipleRecords - how to process GUID

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 37
I'm calling Xrm.WebApi.online.retrieveMultipleRecords() with one of the fields in the select list being the record identifier. When I run the query in a browser I can see the GUID as expected:

"new_applicationid":"63790951-dec7-e411-97a1-d4ae52b8c92e"

I'm accessing the values for processing inside a for loop with (for example):
var term = results.entities[i]["new_term"];
When I do this with the identifier however rather than the GUID my variable is undefined. Do I have to process GUID values in a different way?
I have the same question (0)

    Hello,

    Can you please provide the code you use and what exactly doesn't work?

    Sorry, I thought I had included enough detail. My WebApi call is this:

    Xrm.WebApi.online.retrieveMultipleRecords("new_application", "?$select=new_term,new_nbr,new_decision,new_reply,new_applicationid&$filter=statecode eq 0 and new_term eq '"+term+"'").then(

                           function success(results) {

                               for (var i = 0; i < results.entities.length; i++) {

                                   var url = "<a href='"+ clientUrl + results.entities[i]["new_applicationid"] +"' target='new'>" + results.entities[i]["new_nbr"] + "</a>";

                           var term = results.entities[i]["new_term"];

                           var course = results.entities[i]["new_name"];

                           var decision = results.entities[i]["new_decision@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue"];

                           var reply = results.entities[i]["new_reply@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue"];

                               }

                            },

                           function(error) {

                               Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);

                           }

                       );

    All my attributes are being saved to the variables with the exception of the GUID, new_applicationid: results.entities[i]["new_applicationid"] is undefined when checked. The GUID does appear correctly in the results when the query is run on a browser. So my question is do I need to handle a GUID passed from the results differently to how I handle a string or an option set?

    Now it's more or less clear. That's weird that new_applicationid is not there.

    My recommendation - try to debug your code to see what's going wrong. I composed a video that describes steps you can use to troubleshoot your JS - www.youtube.com/watch

    It doesn't throw any errors, when I view the variable after it runs it just says undefined but it doesn't interrupt execution in any way

    Check the video, put the breakpoint, check records returned and I'm pretty sure you'll get an answer.

    Hi,

    I would recommend to check results collection in chrome developer tool. HIT F12 on your browser and search your JS.

    Also, Can you try generating web api code using Rest Builder tool and see if code generated from that tool and your code are same.

    If found helpful, Please mark my answer verified.

    One of those very strange ones. All day yesterday every check of the value in the console.log came back as undefined. Today it's suddenly returning the correct values. Thank you for your time, I'd been using the developer tools to check console but didn't know I could add breakpoints so that will be useful going forwards.
