  Hi

  If you are doing this in javascript and you have opened the contact from the parent you can access parent attributes via

  window.top.opener.Xrm.Page.getAttribute("attributename").getValue()

  If it is still open!!!

  If the window has been closed or the record is opened without a parent, you can use odata queries to retrieve the attributes you need.

  Thanks for the answer
  

  The first problem is that i need to copy the values of some field from salesorder in the new contact, but between contact and salesorder i have

  the lookup and i try to get the parent i get only the object lookup.

  The second problem is that i can use the webservice but i need for examples which salesorderid was created by user for edit the query to retrieve the values to insert in the form
  

  
  

  - The problem is that is create a New contact from button New and i want to fill the field Department of the new contact get the data from salesorder is it possible?

  Hi I'm not sure I fully understand.

  So if the user selects a contact with the look up you want to populate that contacts department onto the sale order department?

  If this is the case, you can do this in javascript using an oData call when the contact is changed to retrieve the contacts department and populate the field.

  Alternatively you can populate the department field in a plugin when the sales order is created or updated.
