Access D365 fields (on create of record) in PCF control

Posted on by Community Member

Hi, I have a pcf control, its working perfectly now. I got a new requirement.

There is an option set in the form with values as Single and Multiple.

If it’s Single, the pcf control should allow only one lookup value to be selected. Right now its always allowing multiple values. I have tried finding this options set control in index.ts but its not available. I tried onchange event of pcf control but its getting fired after the index.ts is finished. How can I capture the value of option set in index.ts? I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

    The easiest way to use the optionset field in the code of your control is to add add the new property of the optionset type, handle it in the code and bound it in the settings of the PCF.

    Thanks for the reply. Could you please send me a screenshot of it, if you have? It's my first time working on PCF. Lot of confusion...

    Thanks Andrew, I have gone through the video, I have created the key in the manifest.

    <property name="clientType" display-name-key="Client Type" description-key="Description " of-type="OptionSet" usage="bound" required="false" />

    it's giving all the properties and values of the optionset field in the index.ts. I want the dynamic value, when the pcf control value is selected, I need to capture the latest value of option set. Any help?

    Hello,

    What code do you use to get the value of the mentioned optionset field?

    Hi Andrew, thank you for your reply. I don't know how to fetch the selected value of optionset in index.ts file. I was trying using the getValue() but it's throwing exception. Can you help me how to fetch it please?

    It should be something like, according to your code:

    let optionsetValue = context.parameters.clientType.raw;

    Thanks again for quick reply. I have tried it but it's giving the saved value of the option set. I have selected multi option and saved it. When I change it back to single and select a value in PCF control, it's still showing the Multi value only.

    if (context.parameters.clientType.raw != null) {            

               this._clientType = context.parameters.clientType.raw;

           }

    Any help please?
