Access custom fields XRM

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I have lookup fields (custom entities) on my form. I am trying to access custom properties of those lookups through XRM:

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("xxx").getValue()[0]

However I get JS error when accessing any custom field for entity "xxx":

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("xxx").getValue()[0].tag //tag - undefined



Am I missing something here, what is the proper way of accessing properties of lookup fields?

Thanks

    Hi Ray,

    If this is a lookup field, you can only get its id and name and entity type as well.

    var lookup = new Array();

    lookup = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("attributenamexxx").getValue();

    if (lookup != null) {

       var name = lookup[0].name;

       var id = lookup[0].id;

       var entityType = lookup[0].entityType;

    }

    If you need to retrieve other properties or attributes from that lookup you need to do oData Query or additional JavaScript like using Rest, soap.

    Example:

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    That's why I couldn't find any examples for it.

    Thanks
