Does anyone have an example JavaScript script, that on being called (will be doing this via a ribbon button) it can check if a lookup field on the form in not null, and then open the lookup record itself in the current screen? (to act like a divert)

This worked, thanks Goutam.
Hi Graeme,
Here is the function you need to call , just replace lookup field name and the entity name here.

function OpenLookupWindow() {
if (Xrm.Page.getControl("lookupfieldName") != null && Xrm.Page.getControl("lookupfieldName").getAttribute().getValue() != null) {
contactLookup = window.parent.Xrm.Page.getControl("lookupfieldName").getAttribute().getValue();
lookupId = contactLookup[0].id;
lookupName = contactLookup[0].name;
var parameters = {};
// parameters["attributename"] = "test"; //You can pass additional parameters if you want.
var windowOptions = {
openInNewWindow: false // You can control the window
};
window.parent.Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("EntityName", lookupId, parameters, windowOptions); // Replace entity name here . If its not work try to remove "window.parent"
}
else
{
alert("control not found");
}
}
Hello,
Did you try to use Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm(name,id,parameters,windowOptions) in your js function which you can call from your ribbon button. You can set openInNewWindow to false to open record in the same window.
