Hi all,

I am trying to set an entityreference to a partylist field. Till now its only possible for me to set a string as reference to an account, but i want to fill the field with the account name.

This is my code:

var parameters = {};
var partylist = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("to"); // "to" is the name of the partylist field
var partlist = new Array();
partlist[0] = new Object();
partlist[0].id = "982D83BD-2FBA-E711-8119-5065F38BF4D1";
partlist[0].name = "TESTNAME" // here i want to set the name of the account, wich i want to reference to.
partlist[0].entityType = "account";

parameters["phonenumber"] = "0843148191";
parameters["to"] = partylist.setValue(partlist);

var windowOptions = { openInNewWindow: true };

function openNewPhoneCall() {

debugger;

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("phonecall", null, parameters, windowOptions);

}

The reference to the current account with the GUID (982D83BD-2FBA-E711-8119-5065F38BF4D1) is working, but i want to fill the partylist field with the name of the account.

Hopefully there is someone who understands my requirement and can help me.

Thanks for the help.

The following line of code is wrong:

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("phonecall", null, partylistarray, windowOptions);

You are trying to open a phonecall passing partylist as third parameter ... if you check openEntityForm reference you will see that is not correct:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj602956.aspx#BKMK_OpenEntityForm

A right call will be:

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("phonecall", phoncallid, null, windowOptions);

Please, let me know.

Try with the following code:

var partylistarray = []; // new array partylistarray[0] = {}; // new object partylistarray[0].id = "982D83BD-2FBA-E711-8119-5065F38BF4D1"; partylistarray[0].name = "TESTNAME"; partylistarray[0].entityType = "account"; Xrm.Page.getAttribute("partylistattribute").setValue(partylistarray);

After saving page you should view account name.

Please, let me know.
