Introduction:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this blog, we are going to see how to apply a custom filter to the lookup field using the JavaScript functions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Dynamics CRM allows us to filter a lookup field on the form using the Fetch XML condition and \u201caddPreSearch()\u201c method.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the Contact Entity, there is a lookup field named ‘Account Name’<\/em> and a text field ‘Address1: City’<\/em> as shown in the below screenshot;\"Apply<\/a><\/p>\n

So, if we want to filter Account records in lookup view by city having value equal to field Address1: City. We can do this by writing the below code in JScript.<\/p>\n

Here we have written two functions ‘filterLookup()’<\/em> and ‘addCustomeLookupFilter()’<\/em>\u00a0 as shown in the below code snippets;\"Apply<\/a><\/p>\n

We have created CRM webresource for the javascript and called ‘filterLookup’<\/em>\u00a0function on change event for the field ‘Address1: City’<\/em> field as below for contact entity form.\"Apply<\/a><\/p>\n

Function ‘filterLookup’<\/em>\u00a0will be triggered on the change of field ‘Address1: City’<\/em>. This binds ‘addPreSearch’<\/em>\u00a0event to lookup control ‘parentcustomerid’<\/em>.\"Apply<\/a><\/p>\n

Open the contact entity record, Before entering the ‘Address1:City’<\/em> field value the lookup field shows all the account records as below screenshot;\"Apply<\/a><\/p>\n

Enter the value for ‘Address1: City’<\/em> here it is ‘US’<\/em>\u00a0as below;\"Apply<\/a><\/p>\n

Then Check for the suggested options for the Account lookup. Only those accounts records will be available to select which have the city as ‘US’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hope this helps!<\/p>\n
