I am using following code snippet to restrict Customer lookup on Order form to populate 'Contacts' automatically, it is working fine in CRM2016 but in D365 it automatically populate 'Accounts'.

Any suggestion to make customer lookup to show 'Contacts' automatically.

function defaultcustomer(){
	Xrm.Page.getControl("customerid").addPreSearch(addFilter);
}

function addFilter()
{
	var customerAccountFilter = "<filter type='and'><condition attribute='accountid' operator='null' /></filter>";
	Xrm.Page.getControl("customerid").addCustomFilter(customerAccountFilter, "account");
}

Thank you Jon!

Just in case anyone else has my issue, I was trying to build a filter on the regardingobjectid field in an activity entity to return just accounts.

I followed the steps you can find for the customerid field that means you have to exclude entity by entity.

Jon's positive filter is much easier.

Since you are calling addPreSearch ,you should call defaultcustomer on Load .It will register PreSearch and whenever you click on lookup it will apply your Custom Filter.

I would call this onload to restrict the lookup to contacts only

At which event this will fire? on-change, onload?

This should do the trick

function defaultcustomer() { Xrm.Page.getControl("customerid").getAttribute().setLookupTypes(["contact"]); }
