Hi,

I have a requirement to show an icon (png file) in the grid based on different value of the column by using web resources, and it's working perfectly but when I added a partylist data type field into the grid, I will get error message Self referencing loop detected for property 'Entity' with type 'Microsoft.Crm.Metadata.EntityMetadata'. Path 'to_Value[0].EntityType.Metadata.PrimaryKey'... does any 1 facing the same problem?

below is the javascript that I have..

function showindicator (rowVal, userlcid) {

    var imageName = "";
    var tooltipValue = "";
    var resultarray = null;

    try {

        //get the row Info
        var row = JSON.parse(rowVal);

        //get the Value of Custom Field (Column)
        var rsubject = row.subject;

        if (rsubject == null || rsubject == 'undefined' || rsubject.length < 1) return;

        //If yes then set exclamation icon
        if (rsubject == "new") {

            imageName = "new_imageA.png";
            tooltipValue = "";
        } else {
            return;
        }

        resultarray = [imageName, tooltipValue];
    } catch (e) {
        //Handle Error
    }

    return resultarray;
}

Hi Jonas,

The party-list field allows for multiple references to multiple entities including the entity which contains the party list field. This will cause a self-referencing structure.

I don't think we can use icons with party list fields.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nithya,

I was adding script to the subject field only to use icon, no party-list field. I just want to display more columns in the grid, but once i put any party-list field into the grid, the system will gives me error.

Regards,

Jonas

Hi Jonas,

Can you put a debugger in the function and see where the function is breaking?

Hi Nithya,

I'm trying to put an empty function in the script, same error result. I will get like below error prompt before my script is fire.

Seem like web resource and party-list field cannot be put together in the same view despite the logic is not touching party-list field.

Regards,
Jonas

Hi,

This error occurs due party List field on Activity entities like emails, tasks, oppointments, etc.

In latest version of MS CRM the issue is resolved.
