GET/SET Value to Different Data Types field in Dynamics 365 using JavaScript

 GET/SET Value to Different Data Types field

Whenever you create function events on Entity's, we pass Execution Context of the form data to the function. We get he form context from Execution Context. Sample Code is as below.

function testFunction(executionContext) {

var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();

}

Lets check GET/SET for different Data Types, here my prefix of fields schema name is dnlb.

var name = formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_name").getValue();

formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_name").setValue("dotNetLittleBoy");

var typecodeText = formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_typecode").getText(); 

SET

Set using value

formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_typecode").setValue(99000000);

Set Option set using Text

var text = "TypeA";

var optionSetValues = formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_typecode").getOptions();

for (i = 0; i < optionSetValues.length; i++) {

    if (optionSetValues[i].text == text) {

formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_typecode").setValue(optionSetValues[i].value);

    }

} 

Multi Select Option Set

GET values

var appcodeVal = formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_applicationcode").getValue();

GET Text

var appCodeName = formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_applicationcode").getText();  

SET

Set using value

formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_applicationcode").setValue([990000000,990000001,990000005]);

Set using Text

var commonAppCode=[];

var optionText = ["AppCodeA","AppCodeB","AppCodeC"];

var optionSetValues = formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_applicationcode").getOptions();

for (i = 0; i < optionText.length; i++) {

    for (j = 0; j < optionSetValues.length; j++) {

        if (optionText[i] === optionSetValues[j].text) {

            commonAppCode.push(optionSetValues[j].value);

         formContext.getAttribute("dnlb_applicationcode").setValue(commonAppCode);

        }

    }

}

SET

var studentLookup = new Array()

studentLookup[0]= new Object();

studentLookup[0].id = "{{RECORD_ID_WHICH_TO_BE_SET}}";  

studentLookup[0].entityType = "dnlb_student";            

studentLookup[0].name = "dotNetLittleBoy";
