Regarding field does not populate in UCI using Xrm.Navigation.openForm client API

Posted on by Vikas Negi 140

Hi,

I am trying to open an Activity entity form for new record with auto populating the regarding field by using Xrm.Navigation.openForm client API in D365 UCI. However, it is not setting the value for the regarding field in UCI. Could you please let us know the reason why it is not showing the value or provide a way to set the regarding field value using this client API.

Thanks in advance!

    Below is the code I am using:

    //Set the reqarding field value
    parameters["pId"] = "2878282E-94D6-E111-9B1D-00155D9D700B";  
    parameters["pName"] = "Contoso";
    parameters["pType"] = 1;   //object type code

    //set required attendees

    parameters["partyid"] = "2878282E-94D6-E111-9B1D-00155D9D700B";

    parameters["partyname"] = "Contoso";

    parameters["partytype"] = 1; //object type code

    //open new record

    entityFormOption.entityName = "appointment";
    entityFormOption.entityId = null;
    entityFormOption.openInNewWindow = true;
    //open the entity record
    Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOption, parameters, successCallback, errorCallback);

    Thanks!

    var parameters = [];

           parameters["regardingobjectid"] = "2312bf7b-c57b-e911-a99a-00224800c5e8";

           parameters["regardingobjectidname"] = "IGN Consortium";

           parameters["regardingobjectidtype"] = 1;   //object type code

    This works fine for me. Let me know how you get on

    Hi, try this

    var entityFormOptions = {};
entityFormOptions["entityName"] = "contact";

// Set default values for the Contact form
var formParameters = {};
formParameters["firstname"] = "Sample";
formParameters["lastname"] = "Contact";
formParameters["fullname"] = "Sample Contact";
formParameters["emailaddress1"] = "contact@adventure-works.com";
formParameters["jobtitle"] = "Sr. Marketing Manager";
formParameters["donotemail"] = "1";
formParameters["description"] = "Default values for this record were set programmatically.";

// Open the form.
Xrm.Navigation.openForm(entityFormOptions, formParameters).then(
    function (success) {
        console.log(success);
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log(error);
    });

    Thank you T.I.A

    var parameters = [];

           parameters["regardingobjectid"] = "2312bf7b-c57b-e911-a99a-00224800c5e8";

           parameters["regardingobjectidname"] = "IGN Consortium";

           parameters["regardingobjectidtype"] = 1;   //object type code

    By using above code I am able to set the regarding field value. However, the value for party list field is not set. I have mentioned the code for partylist field as well above. Could you please help me to the party list field?

    Thanks!

    Hi VIkas,

    Could you try this


    var value = new Array();
    value[0] = new Object();
    value[0].id = "34cf15jk-445a-e843-80bb-a5334caf8811";
    value[0].name = "richard smith";
    value[0].entityType = "contact";

    parameters["what ever the field name is"] = value;

    Thank you T.I.A

    I am able to set the party list field by using above code. However, I want to set the party list field for different activities. I can not set the hard code value for particular activity. Is there any way I can set the party list field for any activity.

    Thanks!
