D365 client customization's setLookupTypes(["contact"]) doesn't support Connection entity's Connected To field type?

Hi,

I want to restrict the number of entities shown in the

Here's my piece of code -

oConnectionFormCustomization = {
    filterRequiredLookups: function (context) {
        "use strict";
        debugger;
        var con = context.getFormContext();
        //Xrm.Page.getControl("record2id").addPreSearch(oConnectionFormCustomization.addFilter);
        con.getControl("record2id").setEntityTypes(["account", "contact", "systemuser"]);
    }

 
};

I'm calling this method on Load of the Connection form and passing the execution context too as per the v9 standards.

But, when I try this on the Console of DevTools to see where the code is breaking,  I get this -

Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your answer. However, this doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure if Microsoft supports this. I see this error -

    On the line, I get this error

    And when I try to debug, I see this exception thrown

    It looks like this is not supported by Microsoft?

    Any thoughts on this?

    // JavaScript source code
    oConnectionFormCustomization = {
        filterRequiredLookups: function (context) {
            "use strict";
            debugger;
            var con = context.getFormContext();
            var con = context.getFormContext();

            var value = con.getAttribute("record2id").getValue();

            con.getAttribute("record2id").setValue([]);

            con.getControl("record2id").setEntityTypes(["account", "contact", "systemuser"]);

            con.getAttribute("record2id").setValue(value);
        },

       addFilter: function () {
           Xrm.Page.getControl("record2id").getAttribute("record2id").setLookupTypes(["lead", "contact"]);
        }

    };

    Hey Priyesh,

    Can you please try this workaround:

    filterRequiredLookups: function (context) {

      "use strict";

       debugger;

        var con = context.getFormContext();

    var value = con.getAttribute("record2id").getValue();

    con.getAttribute("record2id").setValue([]);

    con.getControl("record2id").setEntityTypes(["account", "contact", "systemuser"]);

    con.getAttribute("record2id").setValue(value);

        }

    Please let us know if it works. If found useful, please mark this answer as a verified answer.
