Get the label of an OptionSetValue

Posted on by k3000

I have this code line in a plugin which pulls the value from the optionset field:

int elevatorOption = image.GetAttributeValue<OptionSetValue>("new_kanheisbrukes").Value;

This works fine, however it only gives me the integer value, i.e. 100 000 001. How can I get the label value, which is a string?

RE: Get the label of an OptionSetValue

Hi there!

Thanks for this solution. It works for us

string label=image.FormattedValues["new_kanheisbrukes"]

The only thing is we have a bilingual portal. And values only show in the main language. How can we display the values in relation with the portal language?

P.S. Yes, our labels in CRM are already translated.

Hi ,

You can use FormattedValues to retrieve the label try with below code .

string optionSetText= entity.FormattedValues["FieldName"];

In addition also try to call below method and pass required parameter , you will get the label using metadata.

private string GetOptionsSetTextForValue(IOrganizationService service, string entityName, string attributeName, int selectedValue) { RetrieveAttributeRequest retrieveAttributeRequest = new RetrieveAttributeRequest { EntityLogicalName = entityName, LogicalName = attributeName, RetrieveAsIfPublished = true }; // Execute the request. RetrieveAttributeResponse retrieveAttributeResponse = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)service.Execute(retrieveAttributeRequest); // Access the retrieved attribute. Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.PicklistAttributeMetadata retrievedPicklistAttributeMetadata = (Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.PicklistAttributeMetadata) retrieveAttributeResponse.AttributeMetadata;// Get the current options list for the retrieved attribute. OptionMetadata[] optionList = retrievedPicklistAttributeMetadata.OptionSet.Options.ToArray(); string selectedOptionLabel = null; foreach (OptionMetadata oMD in optionList) { if (oMD.Value == selectedValue) { selectedOptionLabel = oMD.Label.LocalizedLabels[0].Label.ToString(); break; } } return selectedOptionLabel; }

Hello,

You should work with FormattedValues property, see here:
