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.

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

RE: Setting a lookup field value

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); } }
