Hi All ,

I was trying to filter account name lookup based on the address1_city field value change on contact form using the below code .

function filterAccountLookup() {

    try {
 
        if (Xrm.Page.getControl("address1_city") != null && Xrm.Page.getControl("address1_city") != undefined)
        {
 
            Xrm.Page.getControl("parentcustomerid").addPreSearch(function () {
                addCustomLookupfilter();
 
            });
        }
 
 
    } catch (e) {
 
        throw new Error(e.message);
 
    }
}
 
function addCustomLookupfilter() {
 
    try{
        var city = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("address1_city").getValue();
        if (city != null && city != undefined)
        {
            fetchxml = "<filter type='and'>" + "<condtion attribute='address1_city' operator='eq' value = '" + city + "' />" + "</filter>";
            Xrm.Page.getAttribute("parentcustomerid").addCustomFilter(fetchxml, "account" );
        }
    }
    catch (e)
    {
        throw new Error(e.message);
    }
    
}

But i was getting error "Xrm.Page.getAttribute(...).addCustomFilter is not a function"

in function addCustomLookupfilter() at line

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("parentcustomerid").addCustomFilter(fetchxml, "account" );



Kindly help on this.

Hi Vaibhav,

you have to use it like the below :

Xrm.Page.getControl("parentcustomerid").addCustomFilter(fetchxml, "account");

getAttribute will not have addCustomerFilter function and hence you see this error.

Hi! Just minor error on your code. Should be getControl but you used getAttribute instead.

function AddPreSearch(){ var run; var fnSearch = function(){ var city = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("address1_city").getValue(); if(!city) return; var fetchXml = "<filter type='and'>" + "<condtion attribute='address1_city' operator='eq' value = '" + city + "' />" + "</filter>"; ctrl.addCustomFilter(fetchXml); }; return function(){ if(!run){ var ctrl = Xrm.Page.getControl("parentcustomerid"); if(!ctrl) return; ctrl.addPreSearch(fnFilterProperty); run = true; } }(); }

This one is better solution. With addPresearch actually you only need this function register on Form On Load. When lookup populate, the fnSearch will run and add condition to the data. You don't need to register on change function. Just call this function onLoad and let the API works.

Let me know if you have question.

Hi Vaibhav,

glad it worked. To answer your question , i wouldnt say there is any direct method of knowing this:

1. go through all XRM functions that are available : msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg328474.aspx

2. as always debugging - you will know what is breaking exactly where.
