Hi!

I am trying to create a URL field based on a number of fields within any given company page. The main problem i am encountering is when trying to add the primary contact of a company to the string. It resolves to object Object instead of the name of the contact. Is thier anyway to pull the name of the contact that is recorded within a company? Below is my current JS

function CreateURL() {

var employeeEmail = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("mc_nutraceuticalsowner").getValue();
var distributor = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("mc_distributorforms").getValue();
var pharmacyName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("name").getValue();
var pharmacyAccountNumber = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("mc_membershipnumber").getValue();
var state = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("mc_stateforms").getValue();
var customerContactName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("primarycontactid").getValue();

var accountUrl = "https://forms.example.com/view.php?element_279="+employeeEmail+"&element_5="+distributor+"&element_34="+pharmacyName+"&element_33="+pharmacyAccountNumber+"&element_51="+state+"&element_280="+customerContactName+"&id=20314";

Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("mc_accounturl").setValue(accountUrl);

}

The current URL being given from the script is: 

https://forms.example.com/view.php?element_279=%5bobject%20Object%5d&element_280=%5bobject%20Object%5d&element_33=1111111&element_34=Medlab%20Clinical%20LTD&element_5=3&element_51=1

    change this line

    var customerContactName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("primarycontactid").getValue();

    to

    var customerContactName = "";

    var customerValue = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("primarycontactid").getValue();

    if (customerValue != null) { customerContactName = customerValue[0].name; }

    The "primarycontactid" is a lookup field, it is actually a lookup array,

    so you need to get the value by using the following code

    var customerContactName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("primarycontactid")[0].getValue();  //try access the property of the object, you should able to get the fullname

    Please note, add null check when necessary, otherwise the code may broke,

    In addition, you may need to encode your URL as well.
