I just want a contact lookup on a form, but then I want to also put a disabled lookup field next to it that contains the contacts parent account and load it via JavaScript. I cannot get the JavaScript down.
Here's the JavaScript function I have come up with. But it doesn't work. The outter logic works, but I cannot get the attribute of the entity, which should contain the account id of the contact's parent account. But it always shows up undefined no mater how I adjust or rewrite the code. I think I am missing something simple here.
I am passing in the contact's GUID, it pulls the contact, but I cannot get the GUID of the parentcustomerid, which is the GUID for the parent account for this contact.
I suspect the line [lookupValue[0].id = attribute.AccountId;] is the issue. I don't know how to get the GUID from the contact that has been returned from the SDK call.
RetrieveContact = function (id) { if (debug) { alert('RetrieveContact Id:' + id); } var lookupValue = new Array(); SDK.JQuery.retrieveRecord( id, "Contact", null, null, function (contact) { for(attribute in contact) { switch (attribute) { case "ParentCustomerId": alert('found attribute'); lookupValue[0] = new Object(); lookupValue[0].id = attribute.AccountId; lookupValue[0].name = attribute.name; lookupValue[0].entityType = "Account"; if (debug) { alert('loaded lookup'); } Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_parentaccount").setValue(lookupValue) break; default: break; }; } }, errorHandler ); }Any thoughts or suggestions here? This seems simple but I cannot get it to work. I think I might be missing something in regards to how to pull the attribute from the contact to get the GUID, which is what I need to set the parent account lookup field.
