    I feel comfortable with the form handler and how it works in CRM but keep getting errors when I try to simply set the deafult value on the Account Record Address1_Country to "USA". I have tried a variety of ways including passing parameters and just plain code. Here are two examples:

    function prefilledField () {

    var CRM_FORM_TYPE_CREATE = "1";

    if (crmForm.FormType==CRM_FORM_TYPE_CREATE)

     {

      // Set the value of the country field.

      var country = crmForm.all.address1_country;

      country.DataValue = "USA ";

     }

    I have put a parameter in crmForm.all.name.Datavalue and also left the parameter empty

     

    and have aslo tried...

    } 

    function prefilledField (fieldName, value) {

    var iscreateForm = Xrm.Page.ui.getformtype() ==1;

    var field = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldname);

    if(isCreateForm){

         field.setvalue(value);

         field.setSubmitModel("always");

         }

    }

    In the last example I pass two parameters - "address1_Country", "USA"

    What am i doing wrong. I would appreciate anyone providing me with direction including perhaps something I amay be missin in the form handler. I have tried all of the articles here and i know its me since I am just working with jscript for the first time.

    If you are interested as to why your functions were failing, the first function I suspect is because the FORM_TYPE variable is string and needs to be int. Also this is the CRM 4 method which is being fazed out. The second function you have posted appears to have approx 6 typos with incorrect casing and wording, which means you will have undefined variables and functions.

    Hi,

    You can try with this

    function RetrieveTextonload()
    {
       if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() == 1)
       {
         if(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("address1_country").getValue() == null)
          {
             Xrm.Page.getAttribute("address1_country").setValue("USA");
          }
       }
    }
