  Hi All, 

  I have a requirement to default the "from" field on the email entity upon load.  I have written the below code. I know it is not best proactive to code a GUID, but I need this for a demo. The below script is on load.  I do not get any errors when I run the code, the value of the "from field" becomes null. Any help would be much appreciated. 

  function setPartyList() {
  
  var partyRequired = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("from");
  
  // Create new array
  
  var partlist = new Array();
  
  partlist[0] = new Object();
  
  partlist[0].id = "fb2ccc5f-6e18-4ca2-8caf-361b6e1c1724"; //Guid (i.e., Guid of User or Contact etc)
  
  partlist[0].name = "Joe Schmo"; //Name (i.e., Name of User or Contact etc)
  
  partlist[0].entityType = 8; //entity schema name of account or contact
  
  // Set array value
  
  partyRequired.setValue(partlist);
  
  }
