Lookup in Dynamics 365

Hello Community Experts,

There is an issue where i need to comment out the lookup fields because they were created programmatically and now those lookups are causing error!

I have knowledge only about the OOB lookup

They say they have two lookups for instance TestAccount and TestContact and when account is selected its related contacts are displayed but at the same time when account is selected it will throw script error

Since i do not have access to anything related to the above could you please guide me on how to create look-ups programmatically so that when i see their code i can comment those out

Please guide experts,

Best Regards,

Sumaira Noor

    Hi Sumaira Noor,

    Will you use Plugin or Javascript? Here is Plugin code to get/set Lookup field values:

    Get Value of Lookup fields

    EntityReference entref = (EntityReference)item.Attributes[attributeName];

    var LookupId = entref.Id;

    var logicalName = entref.LogicalName;

    Set Value of Lookup fields

    newAccount[attributeName] = new EntityReference(logicalName, LookupId);

    Set Null Value of Lookup fields

    newAccount[attributeName] = Null;

    Hope this helps. Thanks!

    Hi Sumaira,

    we cannot analyze the error without the scripts or logs.

    If you are unable to share these due to permissions and privacy reasons, I would recommend you raise a ticket so that Microsoft support engineer will check the environment for you.

    Can you share script error logs ?  

    I can't figure it out.
