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

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

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.

Just check the other videos available here - www.youtube.com/watch

Part of it covers the updateView method.

Good luck.

If you change the value outside of the PCF you should write code that handles the change in updateView function.

If you change the value inside your PCF you should "notify" form that field was changed using notifyOutputChanged handler passed to the init method.

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?

It should be something like, according to your code:

let optionsetValue = context.parameters.clientType.raw;

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?

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?

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...
