Multi Select Option Sets array to string

Posted on by Diego Botta

Hello,
In order to use the values chosen later in a filter of Portal 365 I need to pass the selection in the multiple select option field to a text field.
How could I do it via javascript? I don't understand how to unset the array to make it string

I'm using 9.0 of Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM on-premise

Thx for any advice.

Hi, Diego Botta

function doSomething(executionContext){ var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); //Your logic... var values = getValuesMultiPicklist("new_MY_MULTI_OPTIONS_FIELD",formContext); var myTextField = formContext.getAttribute("new_MY_TEXT_FIELD"); if(myTextField!==null&&values!=="") myTextField.setValue(values); } //@parameter in formContext = Xrm context, Xrm.Page //@parameter in field = name field, string //@values out string function getValuesMultiPicklist(field,formContext = Xrm.Page){ var values = ""; var multiOptions= formContext.getAttribute(field); if(multiOptions!==null) values = multiOptions.getText()?multiOptions.getText().join(","):""; return values; }

it returns the label of the selected options, but if you need for the numerical value use .getValue() instead of .getText() in line 17.

Hope it helps.

Hi Pablo,

Sorry that we have to go slower with the explanation, I paste the code as I think it would go with the fields I have:

multiple pick list: new_temasdeactividadmpl

text field: new_inlinetxt

So the java you shared with me I arranged it like this:
:

And assign the functions to the multiple selection field:

but i got an error when i try it on the form.

If you notice in the function getValuesMultiPicklist you should have 2 parameters, field and formContext. just change "new_temasdeactividadmpl" by word -> field

function doSomething(executionContext){ var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); //Your logic... var values = getValuesMultiPicklist("new_temasdeactividadmpl",formContext); var myTextField = formContext.getAttribute("new_inlinetxt"); if(myTextField!==null&&values!=="") myTextField.setValue(values); } //@parameter in formContext = Xrm context, Xrm.Page //@parameter in field = name field, string //@values out string function getValuesMultiPicklist(field,formContext = Xrm.Page){ var values = ""; var multiOptions= formContext.getAttribute(field); if(multiOptions!==null) values = multiOptions.getText()?multiOptions.getText().join(","):""; return values; }

and remember to pass the execution context... mark the checkbox at the time you are registering the function in the form "pass execution context as first parameter"

note: the new_inlinetxt field must have a considerable maximum length of characters e.g. 100.

regards.

Sorry that's a odd issue, but it's popping up in the MicrosoftAjax.js library. if you disable your custom function does the same error happen?

Thanks Pablo for staying with me.
When I delete the custom javascript the error goes away.

Hi, I think the issue could be...
Look at the screen you posted

The function getValuesMultiPicklist shouldn't be registered in the form, it's just for internal purpose so remove it
