Get Lookup Value in MS CRM 365 using JavaScript

 

While working on client-side customization using Java Script in MS CRM 365, it is very common requirement to get the Lookup field value which can be done using following code-

Let’s look into the code step by step-

First of all we have to get the entity object using formContext.data.entity.attributes.get() Method

E.g.

var ObjAccount = formContext.data.entity.attributes.get("accountid");  

 

Once the object is available in the variable ObjAccount we can use GetValue() method as shown below-

E.g.

var ObjAccountValues = ObjAccount.getValue();

 

GetValue() Metho return the id, name and entityType properties which can we accessed as shown in full function written to get the Looup Values

function LookupValueFctn(executionContext) {

    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

var ObjAccount=formContext.data.entity.attributes.get("accountid");  

    if (ObjAccount != null) {

        var ObjAccountValues = ObjAccount.getValue();

        if (ObjAccountValues != null) {

            var Accountid = ObjAccountValues[0].id;  

            var AccountNameName = ObjAccountValues[0].name;

            var EntitySchemaName =ObjAccountValues[0].entityType;

        }

    }

}
