Posted on by DarrenMog

Hi All,

I'm trying to access a Quick View Form Field via Javascript.

I've checked that the form is loaded and i can get access to the object but i'm unable to access the field value

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var qvc = formContext.ui.quickForms.get("maintenantinfo");

if (qvc.isLoaded())
{

var birthday = null;
var x = qvc.getControl("birthdate")
birthday = qvc.getAttribute().getValue();

}

Then an error is thrown

Cannot read property 'getValue' of null

I've tried accessing the field directly to no success as well.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi partner,

You used the wrong varibale.

You should use "x" to getAttribute, not "qvc", "qvc" is quick view form control, not the field.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/controls/getattribute.

For example, I want to get the contact email from contact quick view form in account form, I will use the following code.

//get field value from quick view form function getField(executionContext){ formContext=executionContext.getFormContext(); var qvc=formContext.ui.quickForms.get("contactquickform"); if(qvc.isLoaded()){ var email=null; var x=qvc.getControl("emailaddress1"); email=x.getAttribute().getValue(); } alert(email); }

Best Regards,

Leo

Thank Leo for reply.

I did a copy an paste error on the form.

My code is

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
var qvc = formContext.ui.quickForms.get("maintenantinfo");
if (qvc != undefined)
{
if (qvc.isLoaded())
{
debugger;

var birthday = null;
var x = qvc.getControl("birthdate")
birthday = x.getAttribute().getValue();

}

}

I can hit the object birthdate but when i try and get Value on X it throw the error

Cannot read property 'getValue' of null

Cheers

Hi partner,

Looks like "birthdate" is a custom field, so you need to use the complete name with its prefix. In default, the prefix of custom field is "new_".
