Trying to retrieve some fields from the related contact record on a lead, but get the error "not defined at eval" can anyone tell me what i have wrong please?

function setContactFields() {

    //Get the contact lookup off of the record
    var contact = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('primarycontactid').getValue();

    //if contact exist, attempt to pull back the contact record
    if (contact != null && contact[0].entityType == "contact") {

        var contactId = contact[0].id;
        var serverUrl;

        if (Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl !== undefined) {
            serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();
        }
        else {
            serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl();
        }

        var ODataPath = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc";
        var contactRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();

        contactRequest.open("GET", ODataPath + "/ContactSet(guid'" + contactId + "')", false);
        contactRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
        contactRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");

        contactRequest.send();

        //If request was successful, parse the associated contact account name

        if (contactRequest.status == 200) {

            var retrievedContact = JSON.parse(contactRequest.responseText).d;

            if (retrievedContact != null) {

                var retJobTitle = retrievedContact.jobtitle.getValue()

                Xrm.Page.getAttribute("jobtitle").setValue(retJobTitle);

            }
            else {
            }

        }
        else {
        }

    }

At a quick first glance

if (Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl !== undefined) {

should be

if (Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl != undefined) {

with 1 equals sign not 2.

The rest of it looks fine although you are using the old (and deprecated) soap interface rather than the more recent Webapi one.

Please perform the null checks the following way in some of the areas of your code:-

if (contact && contact.length > 0 && contact[0].entityType && contact[0].id
&& contact[0].entityType == "contact")

if (serverUrl) {

var ODataPath = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc";

your rest of the code goes here
}

And some more null checks in the following lines of code :-

var retrievedContact = (contactRequest && contactRequest.response && contactRequest.response.value) ?
JSON.parse(contactRequest.response).value : null;

You wouldn't really need a getValue() in this line, please try without the getValue()

if (retrievedContact && retrievedContact.jobtitle) { var retJobTitle = retrievedContact.jobtitle }

Please mark the answer as verified if it resolves your issue.

Thanks,

Hi,

You don't need to use getValue here

var retJobTitle = retrievedContact.jobtitle.getValue()

//instead it should be simple

var retJobTitle = retrievedContact.jobtitle

I have removed the extra equals and the getvalue but now get "Error: parameter is not passed or parameter is nNull or undefined"

function setContactFields() { //Get the contact lookup off of the record var contact = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('parentcontactid').getValue(); //if contact exist, attempt to pull back the contact record if (contact != null && contact[0].entityType == "contact") { var contactId = contact[0].id; var serverUrl; if (Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl != undefined) { serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl(); } else { serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl(); } var ODataPath = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc"; var contactRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); contactRequest.open("GET", ODataPath + "/ContactSet(guid'" + contactId + "')", false); contactRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); contactRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); contactRequest.send(); //If request was successful, parse the associated contact account name if (contactRequest.status == 200) { var retrievedContact = JSON.parse(contactRequest.responseText).d; if (retrievedContact != null) { var retJobTitle = retrievedContact.jobtitle Xrm.Page.getAttribute("jobtitle").setValue(retJobTitle); } else { } } else { } } else { } }

Hey, what is about the object 'retrievedContact'. Can you discover it with the developer tools of your browser? you can log it in the console with console.log(retrievedContact). Here you have the chance to discover all properties given in the object. Thats how i debug my scripts. In every critical part of your script, put a console.log(object) (in development). So you can be sure, that you have the information you want in the current context.

I will suggest you to debug your code, it will help you to understand where things are not working correctly, put debugger keywork to in your code.

Hi,

You need to select jobtitle in your query,

function setContactFields() { //Get the contact lookup off of the record var contact = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('parentcontactid').getValue(); //if contact exist, attempt to pull back the contact record if (contact != null && contact[0].entityType == "contact") { var contactId = contact[0].id; var serverUrl; if (Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl != undefined) { serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl(); } else { serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl(); } var ODataPath = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc"; var contactRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); contactRequest.open("GET", ODataPath + "/ContactSet(guid'" + contactId + "')?$select=jobtitle", true); contactRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); contactRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); contactRequest.send(); //If request was successful, parse the associated contact account name if (contactRequest.status == 200) { var retrievedContact = JSON.parse(contactRequest.responseText).d; if (retrievedContact != null) { var retJobTitle = retrievedContact.jobtitle Xrm.Page.getAttribute("jobtitle").setValue(retJobTitle); } else { } } else { } } else { } }

Thanks,

Shahbaaz
