Posted on by CRM Reports

Hi,

I have a button in my Order screen and when i click on that, it copies and creates a new order with the details from the previous order. While copying the values, one of my lookup field value is displayed with [object Object] value by default and when i refresh the page, the correct value gets set.

Can some guide me on this. The js behind the code is:

function CopyBooking() {
    var args = window.dialogArguments;
    var arg = args.split("|");
    var serverurl = arg[0];
    var entityId = arg[2];
    var departureId = document.getElementById("dropdown").value;
    var tripId = document.getElementById("tripdropdown").value;
    if ((departureId == null) || (departureId == 0) || (tripId == null) || (tripId == 0)) {
        alert("Error!");
        return;
    }
    CopybookingTodeparture(departureId, tripId, entityId);
}
function CopybookingTodeparture(value1, value2, id) {
    var args = window.dialogArguments;
    var arg = args.split("|");
    var serverurl = arg[0];
    var odata = serverurl + "/xrmservices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/";
    var url = odata + "col_bookingSet(guid'" + id + "')";

    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        url: url,
        dataType: 'json',
        data: window.JSON.stringify({
            col_copiedbookingid: value1,
            col_copiedtripId: value2
        }),
        beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {
            XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("X-HTTP-Method", "MERGE");
        }
    })
    .done(function (d, s, q) {
parent.window.location.reload();
        window.close();
       top.window.location.reload();
    })
    .fail(function (jqxhr, status, err) {
        var er = JSON.parse(jqxhr.responseText);
        if (er && er.error) {
            alert(er.error.message.value);
        } else {
            alert("Error updating booking with Id '" + id + "': " + err);
        }

});
}

RE: lookup field value dispaly [object Object value]

Aside from what looks like a lot of unsupported script, it appears you would have to decompose value2 into it's 3 components as arguments to making a new lookup as Nagaraj's function does from line 13 through 22 -- though you could just do it in place [{ id: value2[0].id, ...}]

RE: lookup field value dispaly [object Object value]

Hi Nagaraj,

The record is saved through code. I tried to update my code with the setvalue but still no luck in it. I have a belief that, this could be because of the json stringfy code, what is your idea?

My code is something like this:

$.ajax({

type: 'POST',

contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",

url: url,

dataType: 'json',

data: window.JSON.stringify({

col_copiedbookingid: value1,

col_copiedtripId: value2

}),

RE: lookup field value dispaly [object Object value]

Hi partner,

I've seen all the code you provided and there is no assignment(set value to field) function code.

You should focus on the setting value steps in your code and please refer to the following format when setting value to lookup field.

var functionName = function (executionContext) { // Access the field on the form var field = executionContext.getFormContext().getAttribute("parentaccountid"); // Verify it does exist on the form if (field != null) { // Get its field value; Returns the Lookup object var value = field.getValue(); // To get the Id, Name and Entity Name (account/contact) var reocord_id = field.getValue()[0].id; var record_name = field.getValue()[0].name; var record_entityName = field.getValue()[0].entityType; // Set its field value field.setValue([{ id: reocord_id, name: record_name, entityType: record_entityName }]); } }

As we can see in above code, we should set three parameters to lookup fields: id, label,entity logic name.

Please provide the code like "Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").setValue()" or "Context.getAttribute("fieldname").setValue()" which are used to set values to fields.

Best Regards,

Leo

RE: lookup field value dispaly [object Object value]

Hi Greetings !

Whatever the code you have posted it's somewhat clear but not fully understandable .

for example fillDepartureDropdown this function you have called the same function inside it again.

to populate the copied data usually we pass through arguements then we read them in the onload event and populate the respective fields.

but in your code it seems you are updating some dropdown (html object) , and you are reading that through html tag .

are you using any custom html as well?

so let me understand this

1..once you click on copy button, whether new copied order record is saved through code, or user manually need to save the record.?

2.if it's not saved through code, so can we save the record through code , or user needs to update any data before saving the record.

Hi Nagaraj,

Thanks for your explanation. Now, I can understand it! why it needs a refresh to display the correct value.

But can you guide me how and where exactly this code need to be updated in my code to fetch it correctly.

Thanks in advance.

RE: lookup field value dispaly [object Object value]

Hi Greetings!

basically lookup has three properties and when we set the value through javascript we follow below method , to set any lookup field.

In your case you are not populating the name property that the reason it's not able to display the record name, the moment you save the record it's going to CRM DB and fetching the name based on GUID you provided and populating the name ( text representation of the record) in that field.

var lookUpObj = [];

lookUpObj[0] = {};

lookUpObj[0].id = recordId;

lookUpObj[0].entityType = entitySchemaName;

lookUpObj[0].name = recordName;

Xrm.Page.getAttribute(lookUpSchemaName).setValue(lookUpObj);

Thanks,

Nagaraju

RE: lookup field value dispaly [object Object value]

departureId is the field which has lookup value, I am new to this and not sure whether you need any more code on this. The js itself is a big code, i am not sure which exact code you require for this.

function OpenNewBooking() {

//debugger;

var serverurl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();

var query = "col_bookingSet?$select=col_bookingid2&$filter=col_bookingId eq guid'" + entityid + "'";

query = serverurl + "/xrmservices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/" + query;

var results;

$.ajax({

type: "GET",

contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",

datatype: "json",

async: false,

url: query,

beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {

XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");

},

success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) {

//debugger;

results = data.d.results;

var bookingId = results[0].col_bookingid2.Id;

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("col_booking", bookingId);

$("#mainCopyContent").show();

$("#confirmCopyContent").hide();

//closeWindow();

}

});

--------------

function fillDepartureDropdown() {

//debugger;

var args = window.getDialogArguments();

serverurl = args["serverurl"];

currentdepartureid = args["iden"];

entityid = args["entityid"];

_cancel = args["_cancel"];

var date = new Date();

var departureFetchXML = '<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false" >' +

' <entity name="col_departure" >' +

' <attribute name="col_name" />' +

' <attribute name="col_departureid" />' +

' <attribute name="col_departurenumber" />' +

' <attribute name="col_startdate" />' +

' <attribute name="col_registered" />' +

' <attribute name="col_participantsallowed" />' +

' <order attribute="col_name" descending="false" />' +

' <filter type="and" >' +

' <condition attribute="col_startdate" operator="ge" value="' + date.getFullYear() + '-' + date.getMonth() + '-' + date.getDay() + '" />' +

' </filter>' +

' </entity>' +

'</fetch>';

var encodedFetchXML = encodeURIComponent(departureFetchXML);

var uri = "col_departures?fetchXml=" + encodedFetchXML;

SendHttpRequest(uri, null, 'GET', function (e) {

//debugger;

var data = JSON.parse(this.response)

if (this.status == 200) {

FillDepartureDropDown(data.value);

}

});

}

Kindly check and let me know if there could be something else you wanted to refer to.

Thanks

RE: lookup field value dispaly [object Object value]

Hello,

I don't see in your code any place where you work with lookups. If you work with lookups can you please post this code here?
