    In Connection form, if you click on Connect To (record2id) lookup field, the default is Contact.  Is there anyway to set the default to Account?  I've already known document.getElementById("record2id").setAttribute("defaulttype", "1"); does not work.  Just try to find an alternative way.  Thanks.

    Hi, Andril-

    Thanks for your quick response.  What does the 'i' mean?  Is it an iterator?

    Hi,

    The "_i" refers to the field name as rendered in the CRM lookup page; it is not a iterating variable. The control from where you can select Contact/Account (customer type field) is rendered on the CRM lookup overlay page as "controlname_i". So, in order to display/hide or play with it using JavaScript we refer it as 

    document.getElementById("controlname_i")

    So, you use the following code to restrict it to Account using the following code:

    document.getElementById("record2id_i").setAttribute("defaulttype", "1");

    In Dynamics CRM 2011, this field was rendered as "record2id"; in CRM 2013 this changed to "record2id_i".

    Sorry, I am using it in CRM 2011.  The function is put in OnLoad of the Connection form.  document.getElementById("record2id").setAttribute("defaulttype", "1"); is proved not working in CRM 2011.  Thanks.
