Hi,

I have found this issue recently that if we don't fill value or not use field in form than this field attribute is not found.

Example :

Birthday Field (This field is in form)

Birthday Field ="26=07-2018" then we got value using this method : Xrm.Page.getAttribute('birthdate').getValue();

But

Birthday Field = "" then we got error like this parameter not found using following code :  Xrm.Page.getAttribute('birthdate').getValue() ;

also getting same issue when Set value in field. We didn't get control so How can we set value in empty field ?.

Few days ago we used same function and got null value if we don't fill value. 

Please let me know if you have any suggestion.

Thanks,

    Hi keyur,

    If you try with ternary operator in expression then it will not give any error. It doesn't matter where that field is on a form or not it will return null if it not on form or don't have value.

    For example:

    var bdate = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('birthdate') ? Xrm.Page.getAttribute('birthdate').getValue()  : null;

    Hope this help you.... !

    Regards, Pravin

    In addition to that  before getting value you can simply check if field is avilable on the form or not

    if(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname")!=null && Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue()!=null)

    {

    //get value

    }

    Hi keyur,

      

    Please try to use below code 

    function GetSetDateTimeField()
    {
         // Access the field on the form
        var field = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("birthdate");

        // Verify it does exist on the form
        if (field != null)
            {

            // Get its field value; Returns the Date Time value
            var value = field.getValue();

            // Set its field value (Current Date and Time)
            field.setValue(new Date());

            // Set its field value to a specific Date and Time (ex. December 25, 2017)
            field.setValue(new Date("12/25/2017"))
        }
}

    I hope this will help you 

    Please mark verify if it works

    Thanks and Regard
