Not able to set lookup field value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Drashti Mehta 260

Hello,
I am not able to set lookup field value when writing the below code. I am getting the error that "Uncaught ReferenceError:Xrm is not defined". I have also added XrmServiceToolkit and ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx but still getting the same error. Please provide the solution if possible.


var recordname = $("#SelectEntityPrimaryName").val();
var recordnamevalue = $("#SelectEntityPrimaryName option:selected").text();
	var primaryrecord = new Array();
	primaryrecord[0] = new Object();
	primaryrecord[0].id = recordname;
	primaryrecord[0].name = recordnamevalue;
	primaryrecord[0].entityType = "new_event";
Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("regardingobjectid").setValue(primaryrecord);

    Thanks everyone,

    issue is resolved since i was using "regardingobjectid" i need to create object instead of array and pass logical name of entity.

    Hi Drashti,

    Please try the following code.

    var id = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("primarycustomerid").getValue()[0].id;
var name = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("primarycustomerid").getValue()[0].name;
var entityType = "Account";
if (id != null) {
  var lookupVal = new Array();
  lookupVal[0] = new Object();
  lookupVal[0].id = guid;
  lookupVal[0].name = name;
  lookupVal[0].entityType = entityType;
 Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_parentcustomerid2").setValue(lookupVal);
}

    Thanks

    Thanks Nithya Gopinath,

    But my field in not on the form. Actually i am saving the data in the entity from a web resource. So Xrm.Page.getAttribute() will not work. Henceforth, i used Xrm.Page.data.entity

    Hi Drashti,

    Try the following code.

    var recordname = $("#SelectEntityPrimaryName").val();
var recordnamevalue = $("#SelectEntityPrimaryName option:selected").text();
	var primaryrecord = new Array();
	primaryrecord[0] = new Object();
	primaryrecord[0].id = recordname;
	primaryrecord[0].name = recordnamevalue;
	primaryrecord[0].entityType = "new_event";
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("regardingobjectid").setValue(primaryrecord);

    Also an alternate code is shown below.

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute("regardingobjectid").setValue([{ id:recordname, name:recordnamevalue, entityType:"new_event"}]);

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks
