just curious, why you need the object type code? the logical name is not enough?

you will need to query the metadata, but you are with CRM 2016.

Normally I will suggest the SOAP endpoint (example here mileyja.blogspot.com/.../how-to-retrieve-metadata-for-entity.html and the response contains the objecttypecode) but with CRM 2016 you should use the WebApi (example here msdn.microsoft.com/.../mt607522.aspx) but looks like the objectypecode is not returned (at least in their examples) you should check if you can get it using the new WebApi.

However I don't know what you are trying to achieve with "custom view JavaScript" but you should rely on logicalnames, not objecttypecodes

hope it helps

Hi,

Add a client global context to the page, if not exist in the page.

After adding use below code.

var objectTypeCode="";

if (Mscrm.XrmInternal.getEntityCode != null && Mscrm.XrmInternal.getEntityCode != undefined)

objectTypeCode = Mscrm.XrmInternal.getEntityCode("entityLogicalName");

else

objectTypeCode = Mscrm.XrmInternal.prototype.getEntityCode("entityLogicalName");

You could try:

blog.hompus.nl/.../entity-type-code-using-javascript-only

But that's an unsupported method

if you provide your html page url i will suggest it

For my Html Page, i used below path to add

<script src="../../ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx" type="text/javascript"></script>

This context is provided by Microsoft only in CRM.

Thanks,

We can get objectTypeCode by using webApi.. Following url will return all the custom entity LogicalName and ObjectTypeCode:

{organizational Url}/api/data/v8.2/EntityDefinitions?$select=LogicalName,ObjectTypeCode&$filter=ObjectTypeCode%20gt%209999
