I copied this off Gareth Tucker’s web-site, however, I’m battling a bit and therefore this post.
The Script below works fine, except for the line >>
CRMObject.parentcustomerid = lookupid; <<
I can’t set CustomerPartentId when creating the contact.
Can anyone help?
function CreateNewContact() {
//Get the lookup field
lookupfield = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("regardingobjectid").getValue();
//This will get the lookup field guid if there is value present in the lookup
if (lookupfield != null) {
var lookupid = lookupfield[0].id;
}
//Else the function will return and no code will be executed.
else {
return;
}
var context = Xrm.Page.context;
var serverUrl = context.getServerUrl();
var ODATA_ENDPOINT = "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc";
var CRMObject = new Object();
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Specify the ODATA entity collection
var ODATA_EntityCollection = "/ContactSet";
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Define attribute values for the CRM object you want created
CRMObject.LastName = "FREDDY";
CRMObject.parentcustomerid = lookupid;
//Parse the entity object into JSON
var jsonEntity = window.JSON.stringify(CRMObject);
//Asynchronous AJAX function to Create a CRM record using OData
$.ajax({ type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
datatype: "json",
url: serverUrl + ODATA_ENDPOINT + ODATA_EntityCollection,
data: jsonEntity,
beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {
//Specifying this header ensures that the results will be returned as JSON.
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
},
success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) {
alert("success");
var NewCRMRecordCreated = data["d"];
alert("CRM GUID created: " + NewCRMRecordCreated.ContactId);
},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("failure");
}
});
}
