AddCustomView function is not working in Unified Interface/ UCI

Posted on by Anwesha

Hi,

I am trying to analyse the client side script behavior in the UCI. I have multiple custom views that have been created for the lookups and I have observed that the addCustomView() function doesn't seem to work at all, i.e. the custom view is not seen in the list of lookups and the new "Change View" button gets disabled in case this function is used.

Alternately, I also tried to use the lookupObjects function available in Xrm.Utility (https://butenko.pro/2017/11/22/microsoft-dynamics-365-v9-0-lookupobjects-closer-look/) but this doesn't seem to show the required filtering as well. Note that the lookups need filtering such that column from the related entity are used in the filtering condition i.e. linkentity needs to be used (hence customFilters can't be used). Please let me know if this code is deprecated, or if I am missing anything

Regards,

Anwesha

Thank you for the bug report. This API is supported and we are tracking this failure internally.

HI Tobin,

Thanks for letting me know, in addition to this API, the setShowTime() API doens't work either, and setHours() on Date time field doesn't work.

Regards,

Anwesha

RE: AddCustomView function is not working in Unified Interface/ UCI

I have managed to get formContext.getControl("attributeName").addCustomView(viewId, entityName, viewDisplayName, fetchXml, layoutXml, true); to work. My issue was I am using a fetchXML statement and I had a space at the beginning of the fetchXML statement. I removed the space and it works.

var fetchXml = " <fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='true'> " fix with var fetchXml = "<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='true'> "
