I have Weigh-in form.
I want to add a new product to that form. This is done via 1:n relation and a look up. The product form gets a weigh-in number from weigh-in form. I want also that the product form gets a customer name which has been defined also on the weigh-in form. The
weigh in number is just a text field, but the customer field is a look up.
What I get is customer field's id number (or entity id, I am not sure), but not the actual text which is needed.
Also there is a drop down menu on the weigh in form which text values I need to get on the same product form. I only get those drop down menu's actual number values, not the text values.
Here is my modified code. With that code I only get the customer entity id or something. If I use same code to retrieve drop down menu values, I only get actual values, not the text.
function GetInfo() {
var EntityName, EntityId, LookupFieldObject, CUSTOMER;
var PrimaryContactLookupId, PrimaryContactLookupName, PrimaryContactLookupType;
var resultXml;
LookupFieldObject = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('LOOK UP FIELD NAME');
// If lookup field has value then the code will only run
if (LookupFieldObject.getValue() !== null) {
//Fetch and place Entity Id (GUID) and Name (String) form lookup field into local variables
EntityId = LookupFieldObject.getValue()[0].id;
EntityName = LookupFieldObject.getValue()[0].entityType;
// Paramter explaination for function call
// RetrieveEntityById('account', AccountId, 'accountnumber,emailaddress1');
// 1st paramter requires entity name (not display or schema name) just pass it in a string
// i.e. for Account entity use 'account' for opportunity entity use 'opportunity'
// 2nd paramter requires entity Id (GUID Type) field which we have retrieved and stored in
// AccountId local variable
// 3rd paramter requires attributes to be retrieved schema name, if thrid attributed is
// required to be retrieved then use like: i.e. 'accountnumber,emailaddress1,telephon
resultXml = RetrieveEntityById(EntityName, EntityId, 'RELATED ENTITY'S FIELD NAME');
// In retrieved XML document check if it has accountnumber attribute
if (resultXml !== null && resultXml.selectSingleNode('//q1:RELATED ENTITY'S FIELD NAME') !== null) {
// If XML document has account number attribute then assign to local variable AccountNumber
CUSTOMER = resultXml.selectSingleNode('//q1:RELATED ENTITY'S FIELD NAME').nodeTypedValue;
Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('PRODUCT FORM CUSTOMER FIELD NAME').setValue(CUSTOMER);
//If required then use the below code line to set value in field on form
//Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get('new_myaccountnumber').setValue(AccountNumber);
}
}
}
// Do not make any changes to this function
function RetrieveEntityById(prmEntityName, prmEntityId, prmEntityColumns) {
var resultXml, errorCount, msg, xmlHttpRequest, arrayEntityColumns, xmlEntityColumns;
arrayEntityColumns = prmEntityColumns.split(",");
for (var i = 0; i < arrayEntityColumns.length; i++) {
xmlEntityColumns += "<q1:Attribute>" + arrayEntityColumns[i] + "</q1:Attribute>";
}
var authenticationHeader = Xrm.Page.context.getAuthenticationHeader();
