Hi all, in order to get the entity type code of a lookup field, we need to use the following statement:
Xrm.Page.getAttribute( "lookupfieldname" ).getValue()[0].type;
But this will work only if the field is not empty, the question is how to get the entity type code of an empty lookup field ?
Best regards..

Hi Mostafa,
you need to detect it from relationship schema, you need to query relationship to get entity type code.

Hello,
You can use following unsupported trick (but it would not work properly for multientity targeted fields like customer or regarding):
var referenceentityname = document.getElementById('fieldname').getAttribute('lookuptypenames').split(':')[0];
