I'm getting a record using fetch to client side, and I need to fill the data from the fetch into a field in a new record I create (fill field on client side), but when I use set value I get an error: Cannot read property 'setValue' of null, I don't understand why, the field is Null because the new record is empty, why can't I fill it ?
function OnLoad() {
formType = Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType();
if(formType == formTypes.Create ){
copyCatNewRecord();
}
}
function copyCatNewRecord(){
var xml;
xml ="<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform'
mapping='logical' distinct='false' count='1'>"
xml += "<entity name='needs'>"
xml += "<attribute name='needsid' />"
xml += "<attribute name='needsname' />"
xml += "<order attribute='modifiedon' descending='true' />"
xml += "</entity></fetch>"
var ret = frameworkGlobal.ExecuteFetchRequest(xml);
var currValue = ret[0].needsid.Value;
// this line returns an error
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("needs").setValue(currValue );
}
