Hi, im trying to create multiselect option set in dynamics crm 2016 following this link:

burnignorance.com/.../add-a-multiselect-optionset-to-ms-dynamics

From this below line, what value should be returned ?

OSet= window.parent.document.all.lnkt_impactlevel; //get OptionSet field object
OSetValue= window.parent.document.all.lnkt_impactlevelvalue;     //get MultiLineTextBox field object

In my case, it's returning [object HTMLDivElement], is it correct ?

RE: Javascript Multiple Select Optionset Error

Hi Fikri

Multiple select optionsets were introduced with CRM 9.0 (2016 is 8.X). See following article: docs.microsoft.com/.../multi-select-picklist

From the code you pasted above, you are calling the DOM, which is not supported by MS Dynamics CRM and it could be very likely why this is failing. (msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg328350.aspx)

I would suggest considering a different (supported) approach:

- if you are using CRM Online - upgrade to the latest build

- If you are CRM OnPremise - where 9.0 is not available (probably the next major build will be) - you could try to create a custom IFrame, add it to the form and have some custom logic there that mimics a multi select OptionSet that you could map in the background to a CRM N:N / N:1 relationship.

Hope this helps,

Radu
