Set Regarding Field on an Appointment RRS feed

    Scenario - User will schedule a new appointment on a contact.  When new appointment form is opened the default is that the rearding and the required be filled with the contact.  I want to change the regarding field to the contact's parent company.  I'll eventually use a SOAP message, but for right now I'm just trying to figure out how to set the Regarding field to something else so I'm using hard coded data.  I currently have the following, although I have tried many variations of this:

    crmForm.all.regardingobjectid = {2E45C135-A1E0-DF11-9545-00219B955415};

    Any help would be great!

    I'm using CRM 4.0 rollup 11.

    Hi,

    regardingobjectid is a lookup type, and you can set it easily using below javascript

    Here is code from SDK

    //Create an array to set as the DataValue for the lookup control.
var lookupData = new Array();
//Create an Object add to the array.
   var lookupItem= new Object();
//Set the id, typename, and name properties to the object.
   lookupItem.id = '{1AAC1363-01A1-DB11-8432-0003FF9CE217}';
   lookupItem.typename = 'account';
   lookupItem.name = 'A Bike Store';
// Add the object to the array.
   lookupData[0] = lookupItem;
// Set the value of the lookup field to the value of the array.
   crmForm.all.parentaccountid.DataValue = lookupData;
    change field name and id value accordingly

    Oh - so you have to set all the attributes?  You can't just set the id and leave it at that?
