n:n form list question?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello - I'm in the process of implementing an n:n list on a form. I've already created an n:n relationship for the entities and I've added the list control to the form.

I have a few questions. When I configure the list control in customization mode, I select a particular view to use as the default view for the list. However, when I try to add a new record to the list at runtime, the view in the lookup window defaults to a different view, than the one I selected during customization.

I went back into customization mode and the default view I had selected for the list was still set, but for some reason, that configuration doesn't appear to get applied to the form list lookup at runtime. Am I missing something with the default form list view functionality?

    Hi Andrew,

    The N:N view shown when you use 'Add Existing' will be the 'Lookup View' defined in the customisations. You can't specify which view to use for a specific N:N other than changing this lookup view - which will affect all relationships.

    There are unsupported ways of changing this lookup (danielcai.blogspot.co.uk/.../filtered-lookup-for-existing-button-of.html) but these techniques will not upgrade to CRM2013 and make break with rollups.

    hth,

    Scott
