Hi,

I need to create dynamic lists like below.

I need a plus sign to add multiple values in the CRM custom form. Is it possible?

Parts will be a lookup field.

Model and item description will be automatically populated based on the chosen part.

If the user clicks the plus sign, he should get a new field to add another parts details.

How to achieve this?

Below is the link which will help you build a simple html web resource.

After that you will have to use oData to retrieve/save/update the data in CRM using JavaScript.

Hi,

   I've found one script in online.

<html>
<head>
    <script type='text/javascript'>
        function addFields(){
            // Number of inputs to create
            var number = document.getElementById("member").value;
            // Container <div> where dynamic content will be placed
            var container = document.getElementById("container");
            // Clear previous contents of the container
            while (container.hasChildNodes()) {
                container.removeChild(container.lastChild);
            }

            for (i=0;i<number;i++){
                // Append a node with a random text
                container.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Member " + (i+1)));
                // Create an <input> element, set its type and name attributes
                var input = document.createElement("input");
                input.type = "text";
                input.name = "member" + i;
                container.appendChild(input);
                // Append a line break
                container.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));

            }
        }
    </script>
</head
<body>
    <input type="text" id="member" name="member" value="">Number of members: (max. 10)<br />
    <input type="Button" id="filldetails" value ="Click" onclick="addFields()">
    <div id="container"/>
</body>
</html>

This code is working fine.

It will display one text box to enter how many textboxes to create.

How to display a lookup field from my entity instead of a text field?

Say my lookup field name is "new_lookup"

Thanks!!!

You will have to create dropdown fields and not text fields. Get the records by oData and fill it. Use name for dropdown option display and GUID of the member record for the dropdown option value.

Hi Vikas,

My requirement is to put a lookup field there.

I've created a separate entity for storing the parts (which will act as a master data). By using a Lookup field, the user can search for the part, if not there he can add new parts, which will be updated in the master data.

You will achieve this by using below steps.

A. Add a custom Html Page Web-resource in CRM.

B. Then you need to add the Html Dropdown control which is used to bind the Parts

entity records.

C. For Dropdown there are two properties Text and Value So, you need to set Text =

Name of Parts Record and Value = GUID of Parts record.

D. So, now when you select the particular Parts record and click on “+” or Add button

then you can easily retrieve the related information of the selected Parts entity

record using the GUID (i.e. dropdown field value) and show its details in the

table/Grid.
