Set lookup field value

Posted on by Community Member

I'm trying to set lookup field value using javascript. My script gives me "An error has occurred. Please return to the home page and try again", but everything works well. This is my code:

var lookupVal = new Array();
    lookupVal[0] = new Object();
    lookupVal[0].id = lookup.savedEntityReference.id;
    lookupVal[0].name = lookup.savedEntityReference.name;
    lookupVal[0].entityType = "new_agreement";
    var existingValue = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_agreement").getValue();
    if (existingValue === null) {
        Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_agreement").setValue(lookupVal); //error is in this row
    }

Hi,

Everything in your script to build the lookup is correct, I don't think you're supposed to have three equals for the comparison but that's not the issue. The only thing that looks like it could be a problem is the "lookup.savedEntityReference" object. If that's not evaluating the way you expect then it would explain why the setValue is failing. Put in alerts to verify those values are what you'd expect, but I'd bet that's what the problem is.

Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as a Verified answer.

Thanks,

Aiden

Hi Taras

It could be a problem here

lookup.savedEntityReference.id;

lookupVal[0].name = lookup.savedEntityReference.name;

Do you have the lookup.savedEntityReference.name

And you set the value to new_agreement with the lookup value to the entity new_agreement also?

1. Are you sure the entity type name for the lookup field is new_agreement

2. Are you sure that the field name is new_agreement not new_agreementid?

Hi Taras,

Please use below function to Set LookUp field. Pass the required parameter in SetLookupValue function. Please make sure you pass correct parameters.

function SetLookupValue(fieldName, id, name, entityType)

{

if (fieldName != null)

{

var lookupValue = new Array();

lookupValue[0] = new Object();

lookupValue[0].id = id;

lookupValue[0].name = name;

lookupValue[0].entityType = entityType;

if (lookupValue[0].id != null)

{

Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName).setValue(lookupValue);

}

}

}

Hope this Helps !! Let us know if you need any more help on this.

I am trying to apply an account value to a lookup field

I am calling this javascript on page load event of the entity 'testEntity'

my code is

function setLookupField(){

var lookUpData =new Array();

var lookUpItem =new Object();

lookUpItem.id ='7b624C940A-49FF-E711-80FC-XXXXXXXXXXXX';

lookUpItem.name ='myaccountname';

lookUpItem.entityType ='account';

lookUpData[0]=lookUpItem;

Xrm.Page.getAttribute('new_lookupfield').setValue(lookUpData);

}

It is setting the value on page load but when I save the record it is throwing error, am I doing something wrong?

Hi Kamran,

Is it mandatory to pass the GUID of the Lookup value?
