Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I have an invitation activity and I want when I save it to appear instead of the name as the "customer name-purpose-status"

I used this code but its not working ..

function setname()
{
var customername=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_customer").getValue();
var purpose=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_purpose").getValue();
var status=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_status").getValue();
var activityname=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_customer","new_purpose","new_status").getValue();

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("activityname").setValue("Customer Name – Purpose – Status");
}

    RE: how to set the Name of activity as “Customer Name – Purpose – Status” Using JavaScript

    function setname()

    {

    var lookup = new Array();

    lookup = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_customer").getValue();

    var purpose=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_purpose").getValue();

    var status=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_status").getSelectedOption().value;

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("subject").setValue(lookup + "-" + purpose + "-" + status);

    }

    I correct it this way .. no more error but its giving me the name of the activity:

    [object Object]-testing 33-100000000

    any suggestion ??

    Saad Thank you, but I needed to know the syntax of the lookuo field since customer name is a lookup, status is an option set, however Rahul have right function with error in the syntax in the customer name like the following code:

    function setname()

    {

    // in the customer name I need to know the syntax of the lookup field

    var customername=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_customer").getValue();

    var purpose=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_purpose").getValue();

    var status=Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_status").getOptionSet();

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("subject").setValue(customername + "-" + purpose + "-" + status);

    }
