I seem to have a theme of JavaScript posts this week! Maybe because I’m having “fun” doing some coding ….. anyway here is a simple snippet you might find useful.

This function can be used to set an activity party field. Such as “to” or “from” on a phone call. Simply pass in the field you want to set. Say “to”. The id and name of the contact (or other entity) you want to assign, plus the entity type. Say “contact”.

// *** Function to set a party list
function setToPartyList(fieldName, id, name, entityType) {
  var party = Xrm.Page.getAttribute(fieldName);

  // Create new array
  var partlist = new Array();
  partlist[0] = new Object();

  partlist[0].id = id;
  partlist[0].name = name;
  partlist[0].entityType = entityType;

  // Set array value
  party.setValue(partlist);

};
