Posted on by Community Member

Hi All,

I have one dropdown with multiple items. I want to take the guid of the selected item in lookup on its chnged event.

My code is like below, but Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('new_item'); this gives null . Anyone can figure it out?

var lookupItem = new Array();
lookupItem =Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('new_item');// Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_item").getValue

if(lookupItem[0] != null)
{
var name = lookupItem[0].name;
var guid = lookupItem[0].id;
var entType = lookupItem[0].entityType;
}

Hi,

Can you try this;

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("lookupFieldName").getValue()[0].id;

Regards,

Please verify if it helps.

the right code will be

var lookupItem = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_item").getValue(); if (lookupItem != null) { var name = lookupItem[0].name; var guid = lookupItem[0].id; var entType = lookupItem[0].entityType;

please note:

the () after getValue

the != null condition is checked against all the variable, not the first element (otherwise you get an error on null

the } for the if condition, if you close the if after you set the variable, the guid variable will not be available after, you need to close the if later

Hi Nidhin,

Please try the following code.

var lookupObj = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(lookupSchemaName); //Check for Lookup Object if (lookupObj != null) { var lookupObjValue = lookupObj.getValue();//Check for Lookup Value if (lookupObjValue != null) { var lookupEntityType = lookupObjValue[0].entityType, //To get EntityName lookupRecordGuid = lookupObjValue[0].id, // To get record GUID lookupRecordName = lookupObjValue[0].name; //To get record Name
}
}

Hi,

try these:-

var Id = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].id;

var Name = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].name;

or Can Use if not work(Use window.parent. before Xrm)

var Id = window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].id;

var rName = window.parent.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].name;

var name = lookupItem[0].name;
var guid = lookupItem[0].id;
var entType = lookupItem[0].entityType;

why we use [0] ?

because it is an array of values.

In order to get the id, you need to address the first element in the array, thus [0]

I hope this helps you a bit further
