Hi Folks,

Need to give a Multiselection option in a field of a custom form.

I have created a field with string size 1000 and created a Lookup method of Data field control level

public void lookup()
{
    //super();
  
    container conLookup;

    Query query = new Query(tableStr(CompanyInfo));

    QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDataSource = query.addDataSource(tableNum(CompanyInfo));
    queryBuildDataSource.addSelectionField(fieldNum(CompanyInfo, DataArea));
    queryBuildDataSource.addSelectionField(fieldNum(CompanyInfo, Name));

    conLegalEntity = [tableNum(CompanyInfo), fieldNum(CompanyInfo, DataArea)];


    SysLookupMultiSelectGrid::lookup(query,
                                this,
                                this,
                                this,
                                conLegalEntity);
}

But now the issue is multiselection option is coming in the lookup but it is not showing in the field value after selection i.e No selected value is populating in the field value.

How can I fixed this issue

Hi,

You should set the value on the modified method of the lookup field, check the following links:

Hi,

You can follow the same concept in the following link: Multi select lookup in D365 FO (dynamics.com) but instead of using COC and Event handler you will add your code directly on the init method of the form and modified method of your multi lookup control.

Follow it and tell me if you faced any issue.

I have added all the method which is given in the link, here also multiselection option is coming but the selected value is not populating.
I have debugged and checked at time of selection in field, modified method is not triggering.
[DataSource] class dataSource { [DataField] class fieldName { public void modified() { // super(); dataSource.fieldName = con2Str(msCtrl.getSelectedFieldValues(), ';'); } } }

Please suggest me what can be the issue

Hi,

Try to do full build for your model. Also did you add third step: "3. Create a parm method to hold the multilookupSelectCtrl object" and did you set the value of the parm method on the init method? Can you share the code ?

Hi,

Did you define this method getSelectedLegalEntity? Where is the definition of it? Also did the build run without any errors?

Thanks,
