I am using this code:

status = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('fieldname').getValue();

alert(status);

alert("end");

And that is triggered by custom button which is working.

The alert(status) window pops up, but it is just empty. The final alert("end") window pops up correctly with text end. The fieldname field is a two option field.

No it is not null. And if I remember right from the CRM 2011, it should even say if the field is null. So is this field changed from CRM 2011?

It's type is "two options" and has a default value "0" with label "no".

With this I get the label, at the same time when I get the empty value.

Xrm.Page.getAttribute('fieldname').getText()

Hi Tseitsei,

It is actually should gieve you alert pop up with text false or true, depends on the value, 0 or 1, and should not be getting Null for this two options since only Yes/No, and you set the default value = 0 (No)

How if you try use this?

status = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue());

alert(status);

alert("end");

Yes, the field is on the form.

The field is normally displayed like any other field.

Correct field is selected.

Label brings back the correct label value.

Thanks Aileen. I got this working. Using both Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('fieldname').getValue(); and Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue(); methods.

I also noticed that somehow browsers remember the old javascripts if I don't remove everyting from the browsers cache. This is a little bit weird and makes the development a little bit frustrating. I used both Firefox and IE.

With CRM 2011 I just need to force reload to test new scripts.

Hi Teseitsei,

You should re-load the web page to get new Javascript working.

If not, the developer tool will always refers to the same javascript.

Nice to hear that, becau I tried using both code, it also worked.

So your problem solved.

Thank you.
