Hi when we use quickview form we generally follow this

var quickViewControl = formContext.ui.quickForms.get("quickviewname");
var myValue = quickViewControl.getControl("internalname").getAttribute().getValue();

This works totally fine. But now work order form of customer is embedded in booking. and this work order customer form is main form, and i am not able to extract it's value on booking form. Can someone help how do i extract value by javascript.

Thank you

RE: how to collect value from javascript when fields present on form from other entity

After working with MS support they provided the code that should work for PCF Form Component:

//this value defines if the control was already loaded. I added a 1 because I have the field twice in the form

var wasContentLoaded = formContext.getControl("regardingobjectid1").isLoaded();

if (wasContentLoaded && formContext.getControl("regardingobjectid1").data.getIsDirty())

{

// if any field of the form component got updated

var object = new Array();

object[0] = new Object();

object[0].id = formContext.data.entity.getId();

object[0].name = formContext.data.entity.getPrimaryAttributeValue();

object[0].entityType = formContext.data.entity.getEntityName();

formContext.getControl("regardingobjectid1").data.entity.attributes.get("cus_phonecall").setValue(object);

}

In this example I am updating the cus_phonecall field from the related entity.

This is working fine in my environments.

I hope this helps!!

Best,

Anyone trying to this here is the JS required:

You can use the console to work out the names or index to use.

var info = formContext.ui.tabs.get(3).sections.get(0).controls.get(0).getAttribute("msdyn_instructions").getValue();

The above example is using the tab 3, section 0, Control 0 to get the Work Order attribute value and below can help during debugging in console:

Hi,

When I checked the configuration it used Quick View Form only.

<QuickForms><QuickFormIds><QuickFormId entityname="msdyn_workorder">613513a1-322d-4ecc-81bd-bd65640d834c</QuickFormId></QuickFormIds></QuickForms>

Have you tried using same quick view JS code to retrieve the value?

Yes it used PCF Form Component control to embed Work Order form and not using quick view form directly as we do it normally on form ->Insert->Quick View Form

Hi Ravi,

you mean that it took lookup field of work order, so you can use web Api to retrieve lookup entity by id to get value of the field you need.

Refer this:

RE: how to collect value from javascript when fields present on form from other entity

There is work order customer and work order service forms are there, which recently have been introduced in Work order entity by microsoft teams. Now these two forms are embedded in booking and work order form of Bookable resource booking entity. They took a lookup field of work order and added custom control in it which shows full form of work order form in booking entity's main form.

if this would have been a quick view form I know how to extract the value. I can edit these fileds in booking form as they are editable. All i need a way to abstrat their value via Javascript
