How to Set Lookup Field Value Using JavaScript -Dynamics 365

To set a lookup field value, you need 3 parameters.

  • Id of the lookup record
  • name of the lookup record
  • entity name of the lookup entity

Here is how to use these values to set an account lookup field.

var lookupValue = new Array();
lookupValue[0] = new Object();
lookupValue[0].id = myAccountId;
lookupValue[0].name = myAccountName;
lookupValue[0].entityType = "account";
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("mylookupfield").setValue(lookupValue);
