No Default Value On Quick Create Optionsets CRM 2013

Posted on by madbrendon 60

Hi everyone.

I have a quick create form for Contact on the Account Entity.

Our client has requested that the Gender field be added to the quick create form but and to be optional. Which worked fine. The problem is that it automatically defaults to Male. They do not want it to do this. They want it to remain blank unless it is specifically entered in. It's default option in the standard contact form is to remain blank, how can I make this behaviour happen in the Quick Create form too?

I have tried to use JavaScript onload to achieve this via:

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("gendercode").setValue(null);

This gives me "Error: Object expected"

What else can I do here?

    Go to Settings->Customization->Customize the system -> Contact -> Fields -> Open Gender attribute -> set Unassigned Value as default value.

    Thanks,

    Hi Vijay,

    As I mentioned above, that is already how it is set.

    This works fine on the standard form. It has no value when the form loads.

    On the Quick Create form however - it defaults to Male instead of Unassigned Value.

    Hi,

    Setting Unassigned Value as default value for drop down should work. I tried on CRM online and its working for me.

    Can you please check, if “gender” field added on the form and published properly?

    You can try checking field before setting its value as below

    If(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("gendercode"))

    {

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("gendercode").setValue(null);

    Or

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("gendercode").setValue(-1);

    alert(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("gendercode").getValue());

    }

    Also check if any JavaScript events registered on quick create form setting gender value on load.

    Thanks,

    Hi Vijay,

    Thanks for your help.

    This line of JS onload has solved my problem.

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("gendercode").setValue(-1);

    Thanks again,

    Brendon
