Hi all,
I need to get parent entity details on child form like:
1.logical name.
2.Id.
I have searched on google and got parent entity Id but not parent entity name.
it is possible to got parent entity logical name by using java script or C#(CRM sdk)?

Akram,
Correct me if I am wrong, Mapping entity saves user input and from which you want to copy one of the lookup field to another entity's lookup field? If my understanding is true, then how you are copying/mapping? using workflow or javascript of just relationship mapping.
note,
1. You can only copy/map the fields when it match the data type (in case of lookups - both should associate with same entity)
2. we can get lookup reference recordID, name and referring entity name from above code. but if you are looking for any field names (you mentioned above -lookup field name(only field name not other information) ) should be fetched from metadata.
Thanks Sreevalli,
I need to mapping for lookup,lookup field name(only field name not other information) is defined by user in mapping entity so I can map data that come form service for this lookup.
To find the other details you have to use the code snip which I share earlier, trigger Javascript on load and on change to see the results.
but could you elaborate the retirement, what you need to do with these details?
yes,
but I have only lookup field name so can I get other details of lookup by its name?
Hi Akram,
May I know what is your business scenario and specific requirement ?
When you are saying you have a child form so you should have lookup field reference of the parent entity in the child entity form , so you can simply get the lookup id , name , logical name as suggested above.
Thanks for reply again.
Thanks Sreevalli for reply,
Can I get ParentEntityType on new record creatation ?
Hi,
The reference between parent and child is a lookup field on child form. so we have to find the parent details using the lookup field itself
if (Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue() != null) {
var parentID = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].id;
var parentName = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("fieldname").getValue()[0].name;
var ParentEntityType = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("feildname ").getValue()[0].entityType;
}
