Null a Lookup value through Javascript RRS feed

    I have a scenario where changing one field should NULL out 3 other Lookup fields.  I am hoping to handle this action of setting the fields to NULL through JavaScript using an OnChange event.  I have all of the javascript all set for the on change and using alerts I am happy with the logic, I have yet to find out how to NULL a lookup field.

    Is there a way to do this through Javascript?

    Thanks!

    CRM 2011:

    Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("logicalattributename").setValue(null);

    CRM 4:

    crmForm.all.<logicalattributename>.DataValue = null;

    Use null to null any attribute value.

    Pogo,

    I have tried what you have suggested and I keep getting errors.  I am receiving the error "Unable to get value of the property 'setValue': object is null or undefined".  I have tried using this with both a lookup value and a regular text value.

    I am using the case sensitive Schema Name for the attribute.

    Has anyone been able to get this to work?  Being able to null out a field through javascript.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I've had the following work for me when needing to reset a Lookup field:

    Xrm.Page.getAttribute(lookupFieldName).setValue(null);

    Kind Regards, Paul.

    I am using the case sensitive Schema Name for the attribute.

    As I wrote in my previous post, you must use the Logical (all lower case) attribute name when referencing attributes and controls via the Xrm.Page API.

    For whatever reason it only worked for me when I used the all lowercase name of the field.

     

    Anyway, thanks for the help!
