Setting a lookup field value

Posted on by meenoo 7,316

Hi,

I am setting up a lookup field value which is retrieved from another lookup field value on same entity form.

Here is the script: 

function sample()
{
debugger;
var ExistingCase = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_userteam");

if (ExistingCase.getValue() != null) {
   var ExistingCaseGUID = ExistingCase.getValue()[0].id;
    var ExistingCaseName = ExistingCase.getValue()[0].name;

var lookupValue=new Array();
lookupValue[0] = new Object();
lookupValue[0].id=ExistingCaseGUID;
lookupValue[0].name=ExistingCaseName;
lookupValue[0].entityType="incident";
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_lapcounty").setValue(lookupValue);
}

}

I debug the script but I don't see anything wrong but value is not getting set up!
Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

    Thanks Guido. You are right. They are not pointing to incident entity.

    I changed it to get the typename as well. But it still not updating the lookup field!

    function sample()
{
debugger;
var ExistingCase = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("new_userteam");

if (ExistingCase.getValue() != null) {
   var ExistingCaseGUID = ExistingCase.getValue()[0].id;
    var ExistingCaseName = ExistingCase.getValue()[0].name;
var ExistingCaseType = ExistingCase.getValue()[0].typename;


var lookupValue=new Array();
lookupValue[0] = new Object();
lookupValue[0].id=ExistingCaseGUID;
lookupValue[0].name=ExistingCaseName;
lookupValue[0].typename=ExistingCaseType;
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_lapcounty").setValue(lookupValue);
}

}

    Awesome. Thank you so much. It worked. Got a clear understanding today of how lookup fields work. :)
