Hi,

I upgraded CRM 2015 to CRM 2016 by Migrate method - import organization. Upgrade organization was completed successfully. But when I select opportunity I got error. When I debug java script I found it is coming from below script when load opportunity main form. This script is using to set the lookup filed of property of parent account in opportunity always to accounts. so the contact will not be selected.

Please help me to solve below script which is not working in CRM 2016. Kindly let me know is there any custom validation tool or legacy check tool before upgrading CRM 2016 or check in CRM 2015.

Error

document.getElementById("customerid").setAttribute("lookuptypes", "1");

TypeError: Unable to get property 'setAttribute' of undefined or null reference

You might check out this blog post on using addPreFilter to a lookup to limit the selection to only Accounts. Users will be able to switch to Contacts in the drop down, but no records will be displayed to pick from.

If you have OOB addPreSearch method ,please dont go for unsupported way.

You are getting error because document.getElementById("customerid") is not returning Control object and hence you dont have setAttribute method.

You can do what you want to using addPreSearch.

Check out Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 Custom Code Validation Tool (Even this tool is only for CRM 2015, but still it will help/guide you).

For filtering of records for Customer lookup in Opportunity, use addPreSearch and addCustomFilter. In this way, you will achieve your goal.

Thanks.

Hi Noushad,

Try using the following codes.

window.parent.document.getElementById("customerid").setAttribute("lookuptypes", "1");

OR

var lookupData = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('customerid').getLookupDataAttribute(); //check if multiple type dropdowns enabled for this lookup and it is not a partylist. For partylist we might want to select an account and a contact if (lookupData.getSupportedLookupTypes().length > 1 && !lookupData.getIsPartyList() && lookupData.getSingleLookupTypeId() !== 2) { lookupData.setLookupTypes(['contact']) }

See: https://dreamingincrm.com/2016/06/02/restricting-the-customer-lookup/

Hope this helps.
