Hi All,

New to the community. I have looked a bit in the threads and didn't get a
clear answer on this question, so I am posting. I desire to create a case
related to a contract and have the contractdetail lookup pre-populate with a
value if it exists for that contract. Each contract can have many
contractdetails, however we generally create a specific named contractdetail
for each of our contracts, the catch is the name is the same, good, the guid
is unique for each thus no hardcoding. Can anyone direct me on how to
essentially walk a list of possibilities, much like the options in a
picklist, to find the one I want for the guid value. A picklist I can do a
lookup and now I have a brain cramp, lol. Any other strategies on how to
accomplish this would also be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Duffman

You will need client-side code calling the CRM web service to obtain the
Guid. Now that one sentence doesn't say too much on how to do it, but
here're some articles that may help you:

The final solution will not work in offline mode though.

Michael,

Thanks so much for the response. I had good luck today, lol, I found a
website www.stunnware.com, that gave a lot of great examples. When I recieved
your response it showed those links as visited, I knew I was on the right
track. Great web site by the way. Look forward to discussing more topics in
the future with yourself and the community.

Best Regards,
Duffman
