JavaScript to open up a lookup field record in the same window if it exists.

Posted on by Community Member

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)

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.

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"); } }
