Dynamics CRM 2016 create multiple lookup on click of custom "+" button

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I am using Dynamics CRM 365 and I am having a requirement of multiple lookups. On custom entity, I am having "Customer Type" lookup. I need to put one custom "+" sign on the form and on click of that sign, lookup attribute should be repeated as many times as the user wants. Please suggest the way if there is any to implement this functionality.

    Hi,

    if you means you want to repeat this action in Customer entity("Account and Contact"), create a subgrid

    if you means, inside a custom entity, then this is not possible. you should create a relationship between them.

    Hi Dinal,

    What I understand form your question that you want to add multiple lookup value of the related records and attach to its parent record . Sorry , Out of the box its not possible.

    May I know is there any reason you are not using  1:N relationship?

    You can achieve this by creating 1:N relationship and add subgrid to your form. Which give you + icon and add multiple related items lookup.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Dinal,

    I think you are looking for a subgrid where you can associate multiple record to your custom entity. If yes, then you can create 1:N relation and add a subgrid on you entity form.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Dinal,

    If I understood you properly then the requirement is to create relationship dynamically and add the field on form too?
