Form Javascript: getoptiontext to field (not working)

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I have very little knowledge of javascript, but what's wrong with the following code which is active on field change:

function setAdressCountryFromOptionSet()
{
var CountryFieldText = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("x_countrylistglobal").getText();
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("address1_country").setValue(CountryFieldText);
}

x_countrylistglobal = option set field where I'm trying to get the text from, not the value, whenever something is selected (I guess onChange).

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks

    Pointed me in the right direction, the name was correct but it seems the actual field needed to be present on the form, so I added it to a hidden tab and all started working perfectly!

    Hi

    From the error message your are getting, we can infer that Xrm.Page.getAttribute("x_countrylistglobal") is not able to get the reference of the attribute on form.

    Can you please check x_countrylistglobal is the correct name of the attribute.

    Your code is correct. What error are you getting? It looks like some other line in your code is not running.

    Also you are setting value in address1_country which is a composite address field. You have to click on Address field to reflect the change in value
