    Hi Marina,

    You need to remove the 'Create' privilege from the users security role for lookup entity to hide the 'New' button.

    That is the only supported way.

    Thanks,

    Prateek

    Hello Prateek,

    Thank you for your answer, but I want to write my own logic when click New button of lookup field.

    So, I am going to write JS and customise button or command. Is it possible ?

    Hi Marina,

    D365 doesn't provide a way to customize the lookup control. So you won't be able to write JS on the + button in a supported way.

    However, You can always build a custom PCF Control and add your functionality there.

    Thanks,

    Prateek

    Hi Marina Karapetyan,

    as an alternative to PCFs, you can:

    1. add a Recommendation Action button on lookup field (column) using the JS command:  formContext.getControl(lookupfield).addNotification(notification) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/controls/addnotification
    2. inside command "notification" Object you can call an action on-demand using "actionCollection.actions": for example open a dialog form via navigateTo or call another action....Lookup-wit-recommendation.png
    3. hide the "+ new item record" lookup button (in order to avoid unwanted behavior lookup):
