CRM2011: I create a filter lookup view for 'Add Existing User', but when I run it, why it still runs the default 'User Look up View'? RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    I create a new filter lookup view for 'Add Existing User' ribbon button using javascript, and change the User xml customization to point to right javascript. but when I run it, it still runs the default 'User Look up View'. I set a breakpoint in javascript. It seems it doesn't run my javascript. I use this method in my other custom entities, they all work. Is there any difference for User entity than others?

    Any ideas? Thanks!

  • The problem has been solved. Just make sure the button's ID property is matching the RibbonDiffXml command definition you put.

  • I don't think the debugger hit any of the ribbon or form event handler functions... I would use alert("") or something similar to check if the function is being called properly. I think, the javascript functions are executed with eval by the ribbonmanager so they can be handled properly in case an error occurs.

  • Hi Nishant,

    Thank you so much for your reply. It's working great. But it's working only for 1:N relationship between Entities.

    If there is N:N Relationship, current id is not sent to the plugin. I am trying to achieve this by sending a parameter to the plugin.

    I am able to filter the lookup by this, but getting error after selecting the records.

    Any Ideas??

    Thanks,

    Sushma.

  • I am able to filter the records in the look up with N:N Relationship by changing the command definition of the Associated button.

    After selecting the records, I have written the code to relate the records to the parent form. But I am unable to refresh the parent form crmGrid.

    Any one has any idea how to refresh the crmGrid of the parent form?

     

    Thanks,

    Sushma.
