How to change the default entity in LOOKUP window?

October 22, 2007 at 1:34 am (JScript, Unsupported)

For instance, in Opportunity form of Microsoft CRM you want to change the “Potential Customer” field’s default entity from Account to Contact. You need to use the following piece of code in onLoad event of the Opportunity Form.

if ( crmForm.all.customerid != null )
{
    crmForm.all.customerid .setAttribute(”defaulttype”, “2″);
}

Remember to enable the event and then save and publish the opportunity entity.

 Following are codes of basic entities of Microsoft CRM 3 ;

  • Account    1
  • Contact     2
  • Lead         4

    This is very good. But i have another question about lookup fields.
    I want to specify which entities can be chosen for lookup fields. How can I do choosing just account values for “Potential Customer” field on Opportunity form? So i should disable contact or other entities both form assistant and lookup window for lookup fields. Is there a method like “setAttribute” to do this.
    Thank you.

    Here we go. Add following line in onLoad of opportunity entity form. It will work for atleast the lookup window.

    crmForm.all.customerid.setAttribute(“lookuptypes”, “1″);

    Is this now supported in Microsoft CRM 4.0?

      It’s changed, following will work for you in CRM 4:

      crmForm.all.customerid.setAttribute(“lookuptypes”, “2″);

    Thanks for the CRM 4.0 version of the script but as per our rules and regulations at the Company, we may only use MS supported Jscripts. So will Microsoft accept this as a supported script or is it still regarded as unsupported?

    Many Thanks

      Its unsupported. But you can always document the unsupported customisations and when required, you can simply remove them for support purposes.
