How to update or set a field of image data type using java script

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Sandy94 10

Hi Guys,

I have created a custom field on image data type and map it on entity main form. On click of custom entity ribbon an API to external system will be triggered and response will be processed. In the API response, there is image coming in Base64 format. Requirement is to update the image field on the form with the image coming from API in Base64 format.

Is there any way to set the image field via java script, just like how the fields will be set for other datatypes (Ex- formContext.getAttribute("<field>").setValue());

Thanks in advance !

    afaik not possible to do with Xrm scripting (as the one you mentioned) you can update the value using the Web API. For the exact code you can use my tool Dataverse REST Builder, or you use the specific "Manage Image Data" request type or the "Update" request (as you have the base64 value) to update the specific image field.
