WebAPI formatted values

Hi All,

I am using the following code to retrieve and set a value on the record using Client WebAPI JS. The retrieved field is an option set and the returned value is a number. My question how do i get text instead of number.

function updatereqppr(executionContext){
debugger;
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
if(formContext.getAttribute("iis_projectid").getValue()[0].entityType =="iis_project"){
var record_id=formContext.getAttribute("iis_projectid").getValue()[0].id;
Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord("iis_project",record_id,"?$select=iis_financing").then(
function get_pvalue(data){
var f_value = data["iis_financing"];
formContext.getAttribute("iis_financing@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue").setValue(f_value);
});
}
}

    Hi , Vighnesh GVR

    for get text on picklist field use "@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue" after your property name as

    var f_value = data["iis_financing@OData.Community.Display.V1.FormattedValue"];

    console.log(f_value);// picklist TextValue

    Hi partner,
    After you get the value, you could use "Stringmaps" to get option set text by web api.

    function updatereqppr(entityname, attributename, attributevalue) {
    debugger;
    Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord("stringmaps", record_id, "？$filter=objecttypecode eq '" + entityname + "' and  attributename eq '" + attributename + "' and attributevalue eq '" + attributevalue).then(
        function get_pvalue(data) {
            if (results != null && results.value.length > 0) {
                var f_value = data.value[0].value;
            }
        });
}


    In addition, I recommend to use Fetch Xml to get a lot more detail of option set.

    Hope it helps.
    Best Regards,
    Leo

    Sadly the webapi will only ever return the option set value as a number.

    To access the text value of the option set you need to look at the metadata for the optionset.
