  Hi,

  I have a custom activity that looks up contacts and upon selecting a contact it populates the address fields with the corresponding fields from the contact. I'm having a problem with the Account Name or ParentCustomerId. The value of "alert(addressEntity.ParentCustomerId)" is coming back as [object Object].

  Am I calling the right method?

  Apologies as my Javascript isnt very strong and I just need to get the account name onto the custom form as well.

  I was hoping to get the Account GUID then make an oData call to the AccountSet to get the 'name' back.

  I hope this makes sense.

  Thanks.

  function addressChanged() {
      var addressid = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("kcc_samplecontactid").getValue();
   
      if (addressid != null) {
          retrieveAddress(addressid[0].id);
      }
  }
   
  function retrieveAddress(addressid) {
      var entity = "Contact";
      var select = "?$select=ParentCustomerId,Address1_Line1,Address1_Line2,Address1_Line3,Telephone1,Address1_City,Address1_StateOrProvince,Address1_PostalCode,MobilePhone"
      var oDataSelect;
  
      // build query string
      oDataSelect = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/" + entity + "Set(guid'" + addressid + "')" + select + "";
  
      $.ajax({
          type: "GET",
          contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
          datatype: "json",
          url: oDataSelect,
          beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) { XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json"); },
          success: function (data, textStatus, XmlHttpRequest) {
              // Use for a single selected entity
              ProcessReturnMsg(data.d);
          },
          error: function (xmlHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
              alert("Status: " + textStatus + "; ErrorThrown: " + errorThrown);
          }
      });
  }
  
  function ProcessReturnMsg(addressEntity) {
      alert(addressEntity.ParentCustomerId);
     //Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("kcc_customername").setValue(addressEntity.ParentCustomerId);
     Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("kcc_address1").setValue(addressEntity.Address1_Line1);
     Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("kcc_address2").setValue(addressEntity.Address1_Line2);
     Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("kcc_address3").setValue(addressEntity.Address1_Line3);
     Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("kcc_telephone").setValue(addressEntity.Telephone1);
     Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("kcc_addresscity").setValue(addressEntity.Address1_City);
     Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("kcc_addresscounty").setValue(addressEntity.Address1_StateOrProvince);
     Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("kcc_addresspostcode").setValue(addressEntity.Address1_PostalCode);
     Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get("kcc_mobile").setValue(addressEntity.MobilePhone);
      }
  }
