I've added a IFrame to a parent entity form. It gets all the parents children because the child knows its parent id. But the child has a lookup field, msdyn_tasktype.
In the list of children I don't get the field straight out... its actually "hiding" at _msdyn_tasktype_value
1) Why is this?
2) How can I get the value of the tasktype, the _msdyn_tasktype_value contains the GUID?
If I was on a page of the child I would get it by; Xrm.Page.getAttribute('<FIELD_NAME>').getValue()[0]. But I'm on the parent page listing all the children and I would like to output the tasktype as it is a string value.

Hi,
Are you getting the values using webapi?
Field names that are specified as _fieldname_value have only a Guid.
If you are using webapi, you will need to add the following to your function call in order to get the formatted values in option sets and the name/logical name in lookup controls:
req.setRequestHeader(“Prefer”, “odata.include-annotations=\”*\””);
Example:
var accountId = result["_accountid_value"];
var accountName = result["_accountid_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue"];
var accountLogicalName = result["_accountid_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lookuplogicalname"];
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Use this function to get the lookup data by passing each child record,
///<summary>
/// Gets the lookup attribute value
///</summary>
getLookupAttributeValue = function (result, attributeName) {
if (result !== undefined && result !== null) {
if (result["_" + attributeName + "_value"] !== undefined && result["_" + attributeName + "_value"] !== null) {
return {
Id: result["_" + attributeName + "_value"],
LogicalName: (result["_" + attributeName + "_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lookuplogicalname"] !== undefined && result["_" + attributeName + "_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lookuplogicalname"] !== null) ? result["_" + attributeName + "_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.lookuplogicalname"] : null,
Name: (result["_" + attributeName + "_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue"] !== undefined && result["_" + attributeName + "_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue"] !== null) ? result["_" + attributeName + "_value@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue"] : null
};
}
}
return null;
}
Assume you are using Dynamics 365 V8.2 else you will not get LogicaName property from results.
