    Hi,

    is there an equvialent to the deprecated “lookupviews=”{parentcustomerid:Active Contacts}”? I tried

    <select name=”_ud_countryid_value “>

          {% for ud_country in countries.results.entities %}

                <option value=”{{ ud_country.ud_countryid }}”>{{ud_country.ud_name }}</option>

                {% endfor %}

    ??????</select>#

    which gives me the GUIDSas values and the right labels, but I am not sure about the column name and/or if this approach can work at all.

    From Dynamics:

    [email protected] Finnland

    _ud_countryid_value@Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.associatednavigationproperty ud_countryid

    [email protected] ud_country

    _ud_countryid_value 246b864b-694d-ee11-be6e-6045bd8c5bf9


    Thank you in advance.

    Best

    Kim

    try the column logical name <select?name="ud_countryid"> and let us know if it worked.

    That does not work either, unfortunately.

    Ah, sorry, forgot to add that in addition to the column name as above, the values need to be one of the following:

    • Serialised EntityReference in the format { "LogicalName": "contact", "Id": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" }. Easiest way is to use to_entity_reference filter
    • Simplified old-style syntax of table:guid as a value

    Examples

    <select?name="ud_countryid">
   {%?for?ud_country?in?countries.results.entities?%}
      <option?value="{{?ud_country?| to_entity_reference }}">{{ud_country.ud_name?}}</option>
   {%?endfor?%}
</select>

    OR, simplified syntax

    <select?name="ud_countryid">
   {%?for?ud_country?in?countries.results.entities?%}
      <option?value="ud_country:{{ ud_country.ud_countryid }}">{{ud_country.ud_name?}}</option>
   {%?endfor?%}
</select>

    Thank you – the simplified syntax worked for me.
