Set field value using JScript

Hi,

I am trying to set a field (new_attendanceguid) value to the ID of the current record using JScript but I do not have coding experience. Would someone be able to help with the complete code for this if it is even possible?

    Hi david_1 can you  provide what data/record you want to get? but  if you are trying to get the record/data of a field try to use this Xrm.Page.getAttribute("field_record").getValue() and if the field type is a lookup field try this Xrm.Page.getAttribute("field_record").getValue()[0].id, if you are trying to get the id of the entity try this Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId() and if you want to set the value of the id to the field (new_attendanceguid) you can use this 

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_attendanceguid").setValue(field_record);

    or something like this

    getRecordID: function() {

    if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("field_record").getValue()[0].id != null){

    var getRecord = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("field_record").getValue()[0].id;

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_attendanceguid").setValue(getRecord );

    }

    },

    you can save this function on the form load.

    Hi David ,

    Are you going to update record primary GUID , if yes then you can not update record id using JavaScript as id field does not exists in the form or you can not add the field in the form.

    Here is some tutorial of some client side scripting basics , hope this helps.
