Loading lookup field text into another form field
Posted by Steve on February 20th, 2007


I am using an 'onchange' event against a lookup field to populate another
form field using

crmForm.all.nswit_schoolname.DataValue =
crmForm.all.nswit_schoolsemployedid.SelectedText

but cannot seem to make it work. Tried it on a form save event as well.
Simple but ??? The reason for this is that I am attempting to update an
attribute in a parent entity with the latest value in a linked entity using
workflow.

Hi,

Try this:
crmForm.all.nswit_schoolname.value=crmForm.all.nsw it_schoolsemployedid.nextSibling.InnerText;

HTH,
Niths

When testing it returns

There was an error with this fields customised event

Field: nswit_schoolsemployedid

Event: onchange

Eror: Object required

after I select a lookup record

Hi Steve

Try putting this code in "Oncahange" of Lookup field...

crmForm.all.nswit_schoolname.DataValue=crmForm.all .nswit_schoolsemployedid.DataValue[0].name;
