Javascript - how to add "if null" condition

Posted on by

I am quite new to javascript and got a question which is probably simple to many :-)

I got a Javascript on Incidents where I retrieve a value from related entiy new_Agreement.
The lookupfield new_Agreement is set by the "mapping function" and therefore I want to run the Javascript on load.
So the value in new_reference from Agreement is set in to similar field on the Incident record.

However, the user should be able to overwrite the new value, so therefore I only want to run the js function if the new_reference on Incident is null. How do I add this condition to the javascript ?

function RetrieveReference (executionContext) {
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

if (formContext.getAttribute("new_agreement").getValue()) {
var id = formContext.getAttribute("new_agreement").getValue()[0].id;

Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord("new_agreement", id, "?$select=new_reference").then(
function success(result) {

formContext.getAttribute("new_reference").setValue(result.new_reference);

},
function (error) {
console.log(error.message);

});
}
}

Best Regards,
Dorthe

    Hello,

    Try to replace line

    if (formContext.getAttribute("new_agreement").getValue()) {

    with line

    if (formContext.getAttribute("new_agreement").getValue() != null && formContext.getAttribute("new_reference").getValue() == null) {

  • RE: Javascript - how to add "if null" condition

    Hello, just add on the if condition a "!= null".

    Like this:

    function RetrieveReference(executionContext) {

       var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

       if (formContext.getAttribute("new_agreement").getValue() != null) {

           var id = formContext.getAttribute("new_agreement").getValue()[0].id;

           Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord("new_agreement", id, "?$select=new_reference").then(

               function success(result) {

                   formContext.getAttribute("new_reference").setValue(result.new_reference);

               },

               function (error) {

                   console.log(error.message);

               });

       }

    }

    Thanks!
