Hello,

I am trying to get lookup field Id value from HTML WebResource using this statement:

let department = parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("department").GetValue()[0].id;

but got the following error: "Uncaught TypeError: parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute(...).GetValue is not a function".

Am I missing something?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Version 1710 (9.1.0.3245) online.

Regards,

Hello Jaret,

It should be .getValue() and not .GetValue()

Hope this helps!

Hi Charles,

Thank you for your quick prompt!

I fixed the function name. Now I got the following error message:

There is a business rule which hide Department field based on a condition. In my case Department field is hidden;

In the debugger I see that getAttribute() returns a valid object, but getValue() returns null.

I see also that getValue() checks whether the attribute Department is visible.

Is it possible this error to be caused by the fact that the field is not visible?

Regards,

Hi,

Please check following -

1. There is a typo in GetValue , Here g should be lowercase, like getValue.

1.As you said the lookup field is hidden , so did you assign any value in the lookup. If no then you should check null before getting the I'd like below .

var department = parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("department").getValue();

(department != null )

{

var deptid= department[0].id;

}

3. You need to Check the schema name of the lookup , might be publisher name is missing in the lookup field name( like new_fieldname)

4. I have assign the lookup object in a var type

In addition to the mentioned above, the below should be done:

1. Check the lookup schema name.

Most probably it is in the format "new_departmentid". The prefix "new" can be different based on the publisher used

2. Check the existance of the lookup field and then verify that it contains a value.

var department = parent.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_departmentid");

if(department != null ){

var departmentValue = department.getValue();

if(departmentValue != null){

var departmenttId= departmentValue[0].id;

}

}

Hope this helps!

Hi Jaret,

Try this

var ddl = document.getElementById("attributename").value;

var lookUpItem =new Object();

lookUpItem.id =ddl;

lookUpItem.entityType ='new_test';

Thank you Guys,

The problem was that the Department field had no value, because the JS responsible to fill in the field had a condition that checks form type == 1 (Create), although the form type was 2 (Update). This was a typo.

Thanks once again Guys for your quick prompt and valuable comments and help.

Regards.
