AI Summary
- The article explains how to autofill fields in Model-Driven Apps based on lookup relationships, either triggered when the lookup is updated or when the form is loaded.
- An example is provided with tables for Countries, Car Brands, and Car Models, where selecting a brand in the lookup field automatically populates related fields like Country and Car Brand Full Name.
- A generic script is shared that dynamically updates fields based on configuration parameters, with detailed explanations of each parameter and how to use them.
- The process involves uploading the script as a web resource, configuring it to trigger on lookup value changes in the form, and specifying parameters to update multiple fields simultaneously.
- Parameters include logical names of source lookup fields, fields to update, destination entity logical names, lookup field names, normal field names, referenced entity logical names, referenced entity ID field logic names, and referenced entity primary column logic names.
- The script leverages Xrm.WebApi.retrieveRecord to retrieve data from the destination entity and set values in the source form fields accordingly.
- Instructions are provided on how to create a new web resource, save and publish it, configure the form to trigger the script, and test the autofill functionality.
- Troubleshooting tips are given, such as checking the developer console for log messages and refreshing the page if the script does not work initially.
