Hi,

There is a entity named connection, the look up of connection shows all entities. Is there a way that I can make it show only work order records.

I am going to use it for work orders, I want that it directly show work order records and my customer directly use that, is there a way for that.

Thanks Nya that was correct. I just changed my functionality and created the work flow instead just to keep the Connection entity base of connecting with multiple entity. as it is. Thank you so much for the code. it helped.

Hi, Ravi

Is there something wrong with my understanding?

Otherwise I think it would be more straightforward to implement this requirement in JavaScript.

Hi, I did the following step. Created a connection role as Associated work order and then selected Work order. When I go back to form and select Associated Work order. Still I am able to see account and all.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Ravi, have a look at docs.microsoft.com/.../configure-connection-roles

An example is the connection from customer asset to IoT device.

Hi, Ravi

I’d like to know that are you referring to the look up of connection in the picture below.

Go to Advanced Settings > Settings > Customize the System. Expand the main form of the Connection entity. Find the Name of the field.

Create a new Web Resource with JS.

Here is the code.

function SetSelectedEntities(executionContext) { var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); var customControl = formContext.getControl("record2id"); if (customControl.getEntityTypes().length > 1) { customControl.setEntityTypes(['msdyn_workorder']); } }

Add the Web Resource into the form.

Save and publish the form. Then it will only show the Work Order type after refreshing the page.

If this helped you, I'd appreciate it if you'd mark this as a Verified Answer, which may in turn help others as well.

Best Regards,

Nya
